Healing Has Come

There is pain that runs deeper
And yet the knife is twisted
There is a desert that sucks your life
And brine to quench your thirst
No one imagines it will come to this

When the healing comes

When the healing comes

Shattered beyond broken

and cold wind scatters

Tears unending

Only to sob more

No one imagines it will come to this 

Then the healing comes

Then the healing comes

Retreating clouds and you are

upon the mountaintop

Now you can clearly see

Scaly blinders are removed

A soul reborn

Life, light, love

Warmth, gentleness, goodness

The healing has come

The healing has come
