Heal Yourself

I submerged myself for so many years

Hardened my heart, I cried no tears

I was running away

I was trying to hide

Thought I knew myself, but my truths were lies

My distorted sense of self left space for no one else

Behind the wall of sleep, I felt safe and out of reach

A hole inside of me, as deep as any sea

As dark as any pit, still, I had to fill it in

She healed me and set me free

Set me free

Gave me love and sweet release

Heal, heal, heal yourself

Reach out now to someone else

To someone else

Someone else

Met someone special, I fell in love

She knew I was sick but didn't let on

God gave me an English rose

To heal my heart and save my soul

Love couldn't lift my sadness

I wouldn't let her share in my darkness

Then she told me with a smile

She was carrying our child

A miracle it seemed

Would I care to share her dream?

She healed me and set me free

Set me free

Gave me love and sweet release

Heal, heal, heal yourself

Reach out now to someone else

To someone else

Someone else

We set up home, times were good

I really tried the best I could

Now and then I slipped and fell

Became a stranger to myself

A second child was born out of love

Still the sly and snaky whispers wouldn't stop

I had trouble on my mind and in my blood

Thought I was free but was in jail

Thought I'd won but I had failed

Only weak men run away

You have to face yourself someday

If you find someone you really love

Hang in there and hang in tough

If you've no love for yourself

How can you love somebody else?

My warring heart tore me apart

Spent too long in the dark

Angry, a closed book

She opened it to living

She opened it to giving

She opened it to living

She healed me and set me free

Set me free

Gave me love and sweet release

Heal, heal, heal yourself

Reach out now to someone else

She healed me and set me free

Set me free

Gave me love and sweet release

Heal, heal, heal yourself

Reach out now to someone else

To someone else

To someone else

To someone else

Reach out now to someone else

To someone else

Reach out now to someone else
