So?



I'm standing there deciding where a particular can of spray paint goes on the shelve because that's my career choice here for the near-term :-). And all of the sudden that small voice of doubt starts creeping in, I know you know which one I'm talking about Lucy, the one we squash as quickly as we can with positive thoughts, the one that doesn't seem to last very long but still manages to make frequent appearances from time to time. Yeah, him, so he shows up, and it's all: "Man I just wish I knew I was doing this for all the reasons that I think I am, I mean it seems like it and all but I just wish I knew for certain, been here so many times before, wish I knew, etc..." Then? Then all the sudden there is this melody in the background, I'm thinking yeah, I remember this, I like this, this is a good song, and by the time I had thought all that? What do I here but:

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

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 promise you that's exactly how it went. I just looked up, smiled real big, said thank you, went about the rest of my day with a smile knowing pretty soon I'm gonna be with my girl. I love you sweetheart, lets just keep doing what were doing and we're gonna be just fine.

"Calling All Angels"


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
I'm calling all you angels

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
I'm calling all you angels

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

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
I'm calling all you angels

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

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

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
