Let the Healing Begin

Let the healing begin

Open up and let the love flow in

Let hope and joy come and destroy your suffering

Oh, let the healing begin

'Cause we've been down for so long in Babylon

Got to be strong, time to move on

We can't afford the rent no more

Beating our fits upon the door

Won't take no more

We'll stand here waiting, contemplating on the shore

Ay, 'cause we're ready for changes, time to rearrange

Things are getting so strange in this hour

Wicked men sit up in power while most cower

Choose to believe, to be deceived by these cowards

So Babylon I'm fading from your sight

Oh, Babylon I'm fading from your sight

Because I know it's gonna be alright

If I give up this fight and get some sleep tonight

'Cause fighting never did solve anything

And love is all that I man have to bring

Because I'd rather jump and dance and sing

And spend my time swimming in love everlasting

'Cause if everything they say is true

Then there's no hope for me, no hope for you too

Oh, oh, so don't you believe a single word they say

Oh, yeah, 'cause they're the ones who got us in this fix we're in

So let the healing begin

Open up and let the love flow in

Let hope and joy come and destroy your suffering, Jah

Ay, let the healing begin

I have flown across to foreign lands

And seen the inequalities forced on my fellow man

I have witnessed things that in my heart I just can't stand

And seen atrocities that have haunted me, I can't understand

Little children gone for weeks without a bite to eat

Grandmothers laboring, broken blisters bloodied on their feet

People drinking sewer water 'cause they can't get nothing clean

All innocent victims of this money machine

Oh, every single word I say is true

But I got hope for me, I got hope for you too

So don't you believe a single word they say

Hey, 'cause we're the ones who come to fix this mess we're in

So let the healing begin

Open up and let the love flow in

Let hope and joy come and destroy your suffering, Jah

And let the healing begin

Oh, Babylon I'm fading from your sight

Oh, Babylon I'm fading from your sight

Because I know it's gonna be alright

If I give up this fight and get some sleep tonight

'Cause fighting never did solve anything

And love is all that I man have to bring

Because I'd rather jump and dance and sing

And spend my time swimming in love everlasting

Yeah

Babylon I'm feeling you, yeah

Yeah
