As I left with a grin you stood by the grave A pilgrim's confusion. From the crypt came the fools on parade Was born with this urge. The future looked bright They called me the chosen one blessed with this might Then on the stage I saw that crippled little child In tears before the new born savior [Chorus:] I got the power to heal I got the power to heal While you run like a rat in your wheel I got the power to heal I got the power to heal Now I'm sick of your lies Be sure of that I have got the power to heal The power to heal My path may be grim, but I do what I like A menace to wisdom, I'm the nail they're so eager to bite Am I dirty or clean or something in between? My mind may be broken but my heart's made of steel The hand of late is here to lead me through the night Just like a soldier of desire [Chorus:] I got the power to heal I got the power to heal In control of the cards that you deal I got the power to heal I got the power to heal When you clutch after straws My call says that I have got the power to heal [Solo:] [Repeat Chorus:]
