Lyrics:
Let me be your halo,
Cuz we been through hell and back
And all in one night
Let me be your halo,
Cuz heaven can wait for us to finish the fight
We don‘t need a Hercules
To bring a man down to his knees
No more apologies no no no
Philosophers like Socrates
Said to find yourself, think on your feet
Go sharpen your teeth na na na
We can be CEO
Yeah you already know,
Yeah we can be the boss,
Fly higher than the Gods
We‘re not under control
No no no not anymore
If you feel me then put your hands up
Let me be your halo,
Cuz we been through hell and back and all in one night
Let me be your halo,
Cuz heaven can wait for us to finish the fight
I‘m stronger than angels
I‘m fearless in danger
And I will bring dark to the light
Let me be your halo,
Cuz we been through hell and back and all in one night
Medusa had the right idea
Beautiful something to fear
For hundreds years on and on and on
We‘re gonna be written among the stars
Posters on walls of young queens
We can be CEO
Yeah, you already know,
Yeah, we can be the boss,
Fly higher than the Gods
We‘re not under control
No no no not anymore
If you feel me then put ya hands up
Let me be your halo,
Cuz we been through hell and back and all in one night
Let me be your halo,
Cuz heaven can wait for us to finish the fight
I‘m stronger than angels
I‘m fearless in danger
And I will bring dark to the light
Let me be your halo,
Cuz we been through hell and back and all in one night
