My child, i had a visitation in my sleep last night
Something was calling to me from a blinding light
And told me not to fear it, hear it
It said, "it’s time to make the world a little wiser.
There are enough destroyers and criticizers.
The world needs a healer, healer."
And i awoke, my heart was pounding
‘cause it was not like me to have such dreams
But i could not fall asleep for wondering
Why the messenger had come to me
My child, i am too old and i am set in my ways
But now i realize just what the voice conveyed
You will be a healer, healer
Rejoice, rejoice, rejoice
Because the healer comes
The healer comes
Your destiny i lay before you
But then the choice was never yours nor mine
When it’s time to take this burden on you
Then i will take the one you leave behind
Amber liquid wetting winecups to the stem
Spilling drops to glisten on the earth like little gems
That myself mistook so foolishly when i stopped to steal a drink
Of the liquid amber melting in my eyes, in my hands, and on my lips
Earthy blankets full of golden lint and thread
I see the children play as i am on my way again
To another place; i’m sorry to say that we
Blurred the picket fence
Still the children play, they wrap themselves in the middle
To sip sunlight and drink innocence
Hey today
Beauty is my healer
Hey today
I’m gonna steal her
