The Healing 03:32
Out in a distant clearing Quiet you can hear her breathing Feel the heart beating like a drum There is a world awaiting Home of peace & reparations Maybe it’s not that far from home Come on, we’re getting closer Come on, we’re getting closer When I close my eyes I hear the voices crying out hurry, we don’t have much time (no) Hold on for the healing, family All voices needed To speak up and to listen To act on intention Hey! We’ve got work to do Must not dismiss the vision What’s achieved by cynicism? Justice needs the hand and the heart Got to walk the walk of our religions Put our money where our mouth is Right now is the time to start Come on, we’re getting closer Come on, we’re getting closer So my true allegiance To all people Til we’re equal nobody’s free, no Hold on for the healing, family All voices needed To speak up and to listen To act on intention Hey! We’ve got work to do And now the veil is thinning We’re staring fear in the face The time & the place Is right where we are standing Before it all falls away Falls away It’s easy to get disillusioned Weighed down by the mind pollution Custom tailored headlines & hate But we’re hard-wired for evolution If we envision a future Inclusive of all, we can make it Come on, we’re getting closer Come on, we’re getting closer Come on, we’re getting Come on, we’re getting Hold on for the healing, family All voices needed To speak up and to listen To act on intention Hey! We’ve got work to do
