Seen my share of broken halos
Folded wings that used to fly
They’ve all gone wherever they go
Broken halos that used to shine
Angels come down from the heavens
Just to help us on our way
Come to teach us, then they leave us
And they find some other soul to save
Seen my share of broken halos…
Don’t go looking for the reasons
Don’t go asking Jesus why
We’re not meant to have all the answers, not now
We’ll get more in the by and by
Here’s one thing that Jesus left us
Before he went to the by and by
Don’t hurt people just because they hurt you
An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind
Seen my share of broken halos…
