Mary Chapin Carpenter - Calling Lyrics
Deep in your blood or a voice in your headOn a dark lonesome highwayIt finds you insteadSo certain it knows you, you can't turn awaySomething or someone has found you todayGenius or Jesus, maybe he's seen usBut who would believe usI can't really sayWhatever the calling, the stumbling or fallingYou follow it knowingThere's no other way, there's no other wayThere are zealots and preachersAnd readers of dreamsThe righteous yell loudestAnd the saved rise to singThe lonely and lost are just waiting to hearAny moment their purposeWill be perfectly clearAnd then life would mean moreThan their name on their doorAnd that far distant shore that's so nearThey'd hear the callingAnd stumbling and fallingThey'd follow it knowingThere's nothing to fearNothing to fearI don't remember a voiceOn a dark, lonesome roadWhen I started this journey so long agoI was only just trying to outrun the noiseThere was never a question of having a choiceJesus or genie, maybe they've seen meBut who would believe meI can't really sayWhatever the calling, the stumbling and fallingI followed it knowing there's no other wayJesus or genie, maybe he's seen meBut who would believe meI can't really sayWhatever the calling, stumbling and fallingI got through it knowing there's no other wayThere's no other way
