Let the healing begin

(Tony Joe White) I'Ve Kept It Inside Much To Long There'S No Relief Carry It Around Just Like A Stone Too Heavy For Me I Had Paid The Price Of Standing On The Outside Looking In It'S Time To Let The Healing Begin 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 And The Days Are Marked By The Heaviness Of The Heart It Never Mends Until The Healing Begins And The Tension Prowls The Streets Like And Animal The People Stay Behind Their Locks And Chains It'S A Shame When So Many Are Trying Their Best To Live As One And The Smoke Form The Fires Covers The Sun A Young Girl Is Lying In The Dirt Her Dreams Ended There Caught In The Crossfire On Somebody'S Turf Hatred In The Air It'S A Voice That Never Sings A Winter Without The Spring It Never Ends It'S Time To Let The Healing Begin It'S Time To Let The Healing Begin
