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 Folded wings that used to fly They've all gone wherever they go Broken halos that used to shine Broken halos that used to shine Don't go looking for the reasons Don't go asking Jesus why We're not meant to know the answers They belong to the by and by They belong to the by and by 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 Broken halos that used to shine Broken halos that used to shine Broken halos that used to shine
