Somewhere there's a stolen halo, I used to watch her wear it well, Everything would shine, Wherever she would go, But looking at her now you'd never tell Someone ran away with her innocence, A memory she can't get out of her head, And I can only imagine, What she's feelin' when she's prayin', Kneelin' at the edge of her bed And she says take me away, Then take me farther, Surround me now, And hold, hold, hold me like holy water, Holy water She wants someone to call her angel, Someone to put the light back in her eyes, She's looking through the faces, And unfamiliar places, She needs someone to hear her when she cries And she says take me away, Then take me farther, Surround me now, And hold, hold, hold me like holy water She just needs a little help, To wash away the pain she's felt, She wants to feel the healin' hands, Of someone who understands And she says take me away, Then take me farther, Surround me now, And hold, hold, hold me She says take me away, Then take me farther, Surround me now, And hold, hold, hold me like holy water Like holy water Like holy water Like holy water
