The Healer

Lyrics

[Verse] Some years back, a young man in the making Was walking one day when he witnessed something that would break him The day before his eighteenth birthday with dark approaching He saw a man collapse out on the street and start convulsing A crowd gathered quickly as his faculties betrayed him Nobody seemed to have the skill capacity to save him His life force was draining fast as he laid on the pavement The paramedics came but they were unable to raise him When they placеd the white sheet on his face, thе youngster melted 'Cause never ever had he felt this powerless and helpless He ran home traumatized, mentally distraught 'Cause due to ignorance, a life essentially was lost He broke down with hurt and anger then started to weep Woke up feeling differently after falling asleep A power came over him that he couldn't comprehend But somehow he knew the sick would never die on him again The clock struck midnight, he carried on confused He stayed up 'til it was time to watch the morning news They showed a little girl, her kidneys were failing on her They said she wouldn't live for long unless they found a donor He visited the hospital and asked for the physician Told him of his intentions while the parents were listening He said he felt like he could heal her if allowed to test it Her father felt disrespected but her mother was desperate He almost got arrested for his persistence and pias Somehow he convinced them to let him in the room to try it Moments from succumbing to the condition I mentioned As he held her hand and whispered, she began to strengthen He saw the life returning to her eyes when he was finished (Okay) The color in her skin begin to instantly replenish The doctors were alerted and they rushed in with the quickness Tested her for hours and found no traces of sickness As her parents embraced and cried, the room was frantic (Yeah) They noticed when they turned around to thank him, he had vanished He realized he couldn't take this new power for granted (Nah) He gave up everything and started traveling the planet He started healing people, this was now known as his mantra From pneumonia to cancer, he had shown them the answer From young to old, if they were ill, somebody would retrieve them And after he'd see them, the suffering would instantly leave 'em (Ah) People began to praise him and uphold him like a trophy Some accused him of witchcraft and spells that were unholy But nothing could control the urge that couldn't stop arousing Within the first year he had healed over a thousand He learned he could rebuild those who were terminally ill Any person that he encountered was permanently healed The government discovered how he was saving civilians It angered them because they knew that it would cost them billions Sickness was a business, they benefit strictly from it Sales of pharmaceuticals began to quickly plummet Plans were set in motion to locate him then remove him But every time they sought him out for capture, he'd elude them Several years passed, countless lives he had been saving Though still young, his face would show accelerated aging He couldn't stay in one place, authorities would trail him And slowly now his own health remarkably was failing He couldn't seem to shake this constant wave of pain and illness The study and the time it took to be explained revealed it The reason why his energy and life was getting dim Was every sickness he removed from others went inside of him Symptoms of every condition known to man consumed him Now it appeared as though his quest to heal the world had doomed him He tried to fix it with his own endowed invented methods But the technique he was blessed with somehow was ineffective This didn't stop his efforts, he continued on unselfishly Restoring the disabled, little babies and the elderly The wealthy greedy people and the police start to get him Now due to his poor condition, had finally caught up with him They surrounded his home, rushed in with special devices Discovered him in a horizontal position lifeless This man who took the sick afflicted ones and gave them help Ironically the only person he couldn't heal was himself The scientists wickedly started dissecting his corpse Searching for the power but they couldn't find the source The people loved him now so when they found out they rebelled Rose up against the beast and sent the whole system to Hell They purified the oxygen, the water and the food All the unnatural toxins in it were removed The lifespan of man began to reach unplotted range So now the work that the healer had done was not in vain
