The Calling Lyrics - Singles - Carpenter Mary-chapin

Deep in your blood or a voice in your head 

On a dark lonesome highway 

It finds you instead 

So certain it knows you, you can't turn away 

Something or someone has found you today 

Genius or Jesus, maybe he's seen us 

But who would believe us 

I can't really say 

Whatever the calling, the stumbling or falling 

You follow it knowing 

There's no other way, there's no other way 

There are zealots and preachers 

And readers of dreams 

The righteous yell loudest 

And the saved rise to sing 

The lonely and lost are just waiting to hear 

Any moment their purpose 

Will be perfectly clear 

And then life would mean more 

Than their name on their door 

And that far distant shore that's so near 

They'd hear the calling 

And stumbling and falling 

They'd follow it knowing 

There's nothing to fear 

Nothing to fear 

I don't remember a voice 

On a dark, lonesome road 

When I started this journey so long ago 

I was only just trying to outrun the noise 

There was never a question of having a choice 

Jesus or genie, maybe they've seen me 

But who would believe me 

I can't really say 

Whatever the calling, the stumbling and falling 

I followed it knowing there's no other way 

Jesus or genie, maybe he's seen me 

But who would believe me 

I can't really say 

Whatever the calling, stumbling and falling 

I got through it knowing there's no other way 

There's no other way
