| City sidewalk, bright Saturday morning
|
| Beggar with a halo shuffles up to me
|
| He asks me for a coin, and mumbles
|
| «Thank you, and God bless you»
|
| Good deeds and halos, not sure what I believe
|
| He asks me, «Is there something I can give back to you?
|
| How 'bout this halo for an hour or two?»
|
| And now I’m
|
| Sneakin' into heaven with a borrowed halo
|
| Hopin' no one notices my broken wings
|
| Peekin' through these gates and thinkin', Lord have mercy
|
| I’m never gonna make it if it’s up to me
|
| 'Postle Peter, taps me on my shoulder
|
| Says, «Son, are you lost?»
|
| I say, «Can you show me around?»
|
| «Well, I’d be glad too
|
| Tell me, what brings you to heaven today?»
|
| «I've always wondered what the fuss is all about»
|
| I feel like a kid flashin' a fake I. D
|
| Tryin' to slip past the Authority
|
| And now I’m
|
| Sneakin' into heaven with a borrowed halo
|
| Hoping no one notices my broken wings
|
| Peekin? |
| through these gates and thinkin', Lord have mercy
|
| I’m never gonna make it if it’s up to me!
|
| Hey Mr. Pedro, I have a little confession
|
| I don’t belong here, and this halo isn’t mine
|
| Peter laughs and says
|
| «Well, boy, haven’t you noticed?
|
| We’ve all been broken, but now we’re doin' just fine
|
| 'Cause nobody’s good enough
|
| And up here we’re all the same
|
| We all get to heaven under someone else’s name!"
|
| Sneakin' into heaven with a borrowed halo
|
| Hoping no one notices my broken wings
|
| Peekin? |
| through these gates and thinkin', Lord have mercy
|
| I’m never gonna make it if it’s up to me! |
