Halo

I won't tell you I've got a halo Floating above my head And I won't sell you a different truth Just 'cause you think this one is better Well I'd rather let you know That it's time to let this go I'm not saying I've got the answers or a master plan And I won't make believe that I could do more than what I can It'll take some time to mend I'd still like to be a friend Last night the world was at peace for a second All had left me at ease I reckon Now I'm not feeling bitter But I dont went to sit here, forever I went out to walk through distant streets And a distant mind To investigate what I could lose Or what I should find How unthinkable it seems To let go of self-made dreams I read some Auden poem just because I found it here And he says our dream of safety has to disappear Wasn't going to ignore That I felt this way before Last night the world was so wide for a minute I was moved by a quiet moment in it Now the way that we're going Is of mending and sowing We're still growing It's time to move ahead Tonight the world is a task we've been given To break up with our past way of livin' So I pick up the shatters Blow the dust from my feathers I feel better
