Bilingual
I've kept it inside much too long
There's no relief
Carry it around just like a stone
Too heavy for me
I had paid the price
Of standing on the outside looking in
It's time to let the healing begin
ย
A boy is strung out, he's going through hell
His mother weeps
His spirit is broken and there's nothing left
Just a terrible need
And the days are marked by the heaviness of the heart
It never mends
Until the healing begins
ย
And the tension prowls the streets like an animal
The people stay behind their locks and chains
It's a shame when so many are trying their best to live as one
And the smoke from the fires covers up the sun
ย
A young girl is lying in the dirt, her dreams ended there
Caught in the crossfire on somebody's turf
Hatred in the air
It's a voice that never sings, a winter without the spring
It never ends
It's time to let the healing begin, oh babe
It's time to let the healing begin, oh babe
I won't let the healing come down
ย
Let the healing begin
