Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I've kept it inside much too long
There's no relief
Carry it around, just like a stone
Too heavy for me
[Verse 2]
I've paid the price
Of standing on the outside looking in
It's time to let the healing begin
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
And the days are marked by the heaviness of the heart
It never mends
Until the healing begins
[Verse 5]
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 live as one
And the smoke from the fires covers up the sun
[Verse 6]
A young girl is lying in the dirt
Her dreams ended there
Caught in the cross fire on somebody's turf
Hatred in the air
[Verse 7]
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 (Oh, babe)
It's time to let the healing begin, help me
[Verse 8]
And won't let the healing come down
Try to dig it up, now
Got the healing for you
Let those broken hearts out, baby
It's time to smooth under
