The millstone hangs around your neck
And leaves a mark upon your skin
I've held it in my weathered hands
And shared the weight of all your sins
So hang your head and make your way
Through all the longest, darkest days
But there's a light that's shining down
And you can wear it as a crown, my dear
When the sun was a common scene
We were living so blissfully
The days would flourish
And when dusk would fall
You were a roaring flame
Now dark clouds hide the sky
In between each horizon line
You are the faintest fire
Flickering under the pouring rain
Halo, halo
Let the glow illuminate your face
Halo, halo
Let it give you levity and grace
Hold up your heavy head
Hold up a light to guide the way
Hold up your heavy head
Hold up a light to guide the way
You toss and turn at night
Cloaked in blue hues of moonlight
I'll softly sing a lullaby
To ease your mind
Enough to get some sleep
Halo, halo
Let the glow illuminate your face
Halo, halo
Let it give you levity and grace
Hold up your heavy head
Hold up a light to guide the way
Hold up your heavy head
Hold up a light to guide the way
The millstone hangs around your neck
And leaves a mark upon your skin
I've held it in my weathered hands
And shared the weight of all your sins
So hang your head and make your way
Through all the longest, darkest days
But there's a light that's shining down
And you can wear it as a crown, my dear
Halo, halo
Let the glow illuminate your face
Halo, halo
Let it give you levity and grace
Hold up your heavy head
Hold up a light to guide the way
Hold up your heavy head
Hold up a light to guide the way
Hold up your heavy head
Hold up a light to guide the way
Hold up your heavy head
Hold up a light to guide the way
