Glass Halo

Verse 1

A glass halo of ego rose above my head and looked like light

As the front pews rose and learned God's cues by sight

And I called this circle truth when I said the words just right

I kept my hands in practiced prayer and let the room decide

Verse 2

I mouthed the printed words until the lines felt like my own

The order taught me when to stand, to pass the plate, to bow

I measured faith by how my chest kept time with every other tone

I held my posture as a proof and learned to wear that vow

Chorus

Glass Halo, you turned my worship into a show

Glass Halo, you made offering a thing only fools behold

I said I had surrendered while I only worshipped the throne

I fed a private hunger that kept me from going home

Verse 3

Then my halo cooled to glass and put my life inside its case

While people around me moved like pictures in a frame

I watched the streets through polished panes and kept a steady face

Praising the clear reflection that I mistook for faith

Bridge

A single question came and asked me, plain and slow:

Did I love the light itself, or only love the show?

Chorus

Glass Halo, you turned my worship into a show

Glass Halo, you made offering a thing only fools behold

I said I had surrendered while I only worshipped the throne

I fed a private hunger that kept me from going home
