lyrics

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
And 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, and
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, and
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, and
Hold up a light to guide the way
