Let The Healing Begin Lyrics - Singles - Cocker Joe

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 

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 begin 

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 the sun 

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 

It's time to let the healing begin
