"Sir, they've all gone off to him," I said to that baptizer
We watched as all his friends left him in the dust
"It's a cold world, and we all just need the Son"
He said with a smile
I choose altars over stages 'cause Heaven is my wages
I don't need the spotlight, so make me a silhouette
And I won't fret, I don't care
You can take me anywhere
Heaven is my wages, I choose altars over stages
Even angels in the sky can fall down to the depths
Clip their wings with their pride, and rot what's in their chest
The funny thing about pride is that you have it all your life
But the moment you think you don't, it's gotten in your eyes
Whoa-oh
Has it gotten in my eyes?
Whoa
I choose altars over stages 'cause Heaven is my wages
I don't need the spotlight, so make me a silhouette
And I won't fret, I don't care
You can take me anywhere
Heaven is my wages, I choose altars over stages
Whoa-oh
I choose altars over stages 'cause Heaven is my wages
I don't need the spotlight, so make me a silhouette
I won't fret, I don't care
You can take me anywhere
'Cause Heaven is my wages, I choose altars over stages
