I've been told about as long as I could
listen
About someone who cares
Someone who even if I'd watched for could sneak me kisses
I'd never even feel
I've been told he never leaves me, that I could run and I could hide
And he'd be there in my hiding place, just one step before I'd arrive
That he'd hear my softest whisper, and work out all my woes
But lately I don't know
So I called me up the woman who first
crossed me on my knees
And I asked of all her fairy tales, was this someone one of these
This same woman fed me Santa Claus and a rabbit who'd leave eggs
Goblins in October, guilt on Mother's Day
She called me doubting Thomas knowing damn well she named me John
She said this love hate thing you do with words and music, that's from God
Dare you fight the hand that feeds you son, remember just who might need
who
You may have lost some in life's wars. Without him near you'd have
lost more
Just how many full moons have to show
you God's Halo?
Ain't one ocean you won't find his salty tears
In every newborn is the birth of a miracle, miracles you can hold
You can climb great oaks nearly touch the heavens if you want to
He feels our doubts. We only call him when we're crying, everyone
me & you
We all scar our life, our kids, our land
Then dump it all back in his hands
That's why the full moon holds God's Halo
This woman's grace it does amaze me
Such amazing grace so seldom seen
Always an up hill, but Christ she loves her God
She should never have it rough no never
rough
Never have enough no never enough
Why is God so blind to Baby Jane Irene...
who sees his halo
One day I'll have my babes and talk
as long as they will listen
I'll tell them somebody cares
Someone who even if they'd watched for could sneak them kisses
They'd never even feel
I'll let them know he'll never leave them, that they could run and they
could hide
And how he'd be there in their hiding place, just one step before they'd
arrive
Kids he'll hear your softest whispers and he'll work out all your woes
By now your Daddy ought to know
Too many full moons show me halos |
