City sidewalk   bright Saturday morning   Beggar with a halo shuffles up to me   he asks me for a coin   says thank you and god bless you   good deeds and halos   I'm not sure what I believe   he asked me if there's something I can give back to you   How bout this halo      Now I'm sneakin' into heaven   with a borrowed halo   hopin' no one notices my broken wing   peekin through these gates and thinkin lord have mercy   I'm never gonna make it if it's up to me      Apostle Peter   taps me on the shoulder   said son are you lost   I said can you show me around   I'll be bound to   Tell me what brings you to heaven today   I've always wondered what the fuss is all about   I feel like a kid flashin a fake id   tryin to slip past the authority      Now I'm sneakin' into heaven   with a borrowed halo   hopin' no one notices my broken wing   peekin through these gates and thinkin lord have mercy   I'm never gonna make it if it's up to me      Hey Mr Pedro   I have a little confession   I don't belong here   and this halo isn't mine   Peter laughed   and said Lord happened to notice   we've all been broken   but now we'll do just fine   cause nobody's good enough   but up here we're all the same   we all get to heaven   on someone else's name      Sneakin' into heaven   with a borrowed halo   hopin' no one notices my broken wing   peekin through these gates and thinkin lord have mercy   (2 times)   I'm never gonna make it if it's up to me   No, I'm never gonna make it if it's up to me   I'm never gonna make it if it's up to me
