I've kept it inside much to long
There's no relief
Carry it around just like a stone
Too heavy for meI had paid the price
Of standing on the outside looking inIt's time to let the healing beginA boy is strung out he's going through hell
His mother weeps
His spirit is broken and there's nothing left
Just a terrible needAnd the days are marked by the heaviness of the heart
It never mendsUntil the healing beginsAnd the tension prowls the streets like and 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 form the fires covers up the sunA young girl is lying in the dirt her dreams ended there
Caught in the crossfire on somebody's turf hatred in the airIt's a voice that never sings, a winter without the spring
It never endsIt's time to let the healing begin, okay
It's time to let the healing begin, oh babeI won't let the healing come down
[Incomprehensible]
Let the healing begin
Let those broken hearts [Incomprehensible]
As time [Incomprehensible]
