can't hold a halo to you

in all the pictures that i've seen

of how angels are supposed to be

there's an aura

a kind of emanating light

suggesting perfection that may very well be true

but they can't hold a halo to you

their role as protector is what god made them for

and i take comfort in knowing they're around

i don't mean to sound ungrateful or diminish what they do

but they can't hold a halo to you

by their by nature they must be heaven sent

here to work their miracles

to wonder and to bless

i pray the lord forgives me 'cause when you touched me that's when i knew

that they can't hold a halo to you

no they can't hold a halo to you
