  • I need a sign to let me know you're here
    All of these lines are being crossed over the atmosphere
    I need to know that things are gonna look up
    'Cause I feel us drowning in a sea spilled from a cup

    When there is no place safe and no safe place to put my head
    When you feel the world shake from the words that are said

    And I'm calling all angels
    And I'm calling all you angels

    And I won't give up if you don't give up
    I won't give up if you don't give up
    I won't give up if you don't give up
    I won't give up if you don't give up

    I need a sign to let me know you're here
    'Cause my TV set just keeps it all from being clear
    I want a reason for the way things have to be
    I need a hand to help build up some kind of hope inside of me

    And I'm calling all angels
    And I'm calling all you angels

    When children have to play inside so they don't disappear
    While private eyes solve marriage lies 'cause we don't talk for years
    And football teams are kissing Queens and losing sight of having dreams
    In a world that what we want is only what we want until it's ours

    And I'm calling all angels
    And I'm calling all you angels

    And I'm (I won't give up if you don't give up)
    Calling all angels (I won't give up if you don't give up)
    And I'm (I won't give up if you don't give up)
    Calling all you angels (I won't give up if you don't give up)

    Calling all you angels (I won't give up if you don't give up)
    Calling all you angels (I won't give up if you don't give up)
    Calling all you angels (I won't give up if you don't give up) Writer/s: Charles Colin, James Stafford, Pat Monahan, Scott Underwood
