Joe Cocker - Let the Healing Begin (Radio Edit)(1998)

[00:14.97] I've kept it inside much too long
[00:21.23] There's no relief
[00:25.56] Carry it around just like a stone
[00:31.46] Too heavy for me
[00:36.51] I had paid the price
[00:41.69] Of standing on the outside looking in
[00:49.03] It's time to let the healing begin
[00:56.32]
[01:02.72] A boy is strung out, he's going through hell
[01:09.27] His mother weeps
[01:13.02] His spirit is broken and there's nothing left
[01:19.24] Just a terrible need
[01:24.24] And the days are marked by the heaviness of the heart
[01:31.73] It never mends
[01:36.79] Until the healing begins
[01:44.43]
[01:54.29] And the tension prowls the streets like an animal
[02:02.79] The people stay behind their locks and chains
[02:09.36] It's a shame when so many are trying their best to live as one
[02:22.36] And the smoke from the fires covers up the sun
[02:31.26]
[02:40.03] A young girl is lying in the dirt, her dreams ended there
[02:50.74] Caught in the crossfire on somebody's turf
[02:56.75] Hatred in the air
[03:01.72] It's a voice that never sings, a winter without the spring
[03:09.67] It never ends
[03:14.58] It's time to let the healing begin, oh babe
[03:26.60] It's time to let the healing begin, oh babe
[03:41.14] I won't let the healing come down
[03:46.59]
[04:01.80] Let the healing begin
[04:07.47]
