Joe Cocker - Let the Healing Begin (Radio Edit)

[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]
