You've been seen with a stiff lip
It's happening to the best when the pain grips
You've been beaten by the bell
In all that you do
You thought Hell was a place one goes to
But your Hell on Earth is true
This is the healing
Give me tears from all your bitter years
The healing
Salt the wounds, the healing will come soon
You've tried to philosophize your pain
But the hurt's in your heart
And not in your brain
You could be hit by the Spirit
And be made new
You thought Heaven was a place one goes to
And this Heaven on Earth is true
This is the healing
Give me tears from all your bitter years
The healing
Salt the wounds, the healing will come soon
Open your heart
