Sneakin' Into Heaven Lyrics - What A Heart Is Beating For - Chris Rice

City sidewalk, bright Saturday morning 

Beggar with a halo shuffles up to me 

He asks me for a coin, and mumbles 

"Thank you, and God bless you" 

Good deeds and halos, not sure what I believe 

He asks me, "Is there something I can give back to you? 

How 'bout this halo for an hour or two?" 

And now I'm 

Sneakin' into heaven with a borrowed halo 

Hopin' no one notices my broken wings 

Peekin' through these gates and thinkin', Lord have mercy 

I'm never gonna make it if it's up to me 

'Postle Peter, taps me on my shoulder 

Says, "Son, are you lost?" 

I say, "Can you show me around?" 

"Well, I'd be glad too 

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 I.D. 

Tryin' to slip past the Authority 

And now I'm 

Sneakin' into heaven with a borrowed halo 

Hoping no one notices my broken wings 

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 laughs and says 

"Well, boy, haven't you noticed? 

We've all been broken, but now we're doin' just fine 

Cause nobody's good enough 

And up here we're all the same 

We all get to heaven under someone else's name!" 

Sneakin' into heaven with a borrowed halo 

Hopin' no one notices our broken wings 

Peekin through these gates and thinkin, Lord have mercy 

Im never gonna make it if its up to me
