[English]

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

...
