You wanna save your survival
You wanna know 'bout your true arrival
You wanna make real music
Not just part time, but really use it
But you don't want nobody else to hear it
'Cause you think somebody's gonna steal it
You better think 'bout healin' yourself, child –
Heal yourself
You are the true believer
Embrace your purity
Say the race deceivers
Took your dignity
Lord, I ain't keeper of the barriers
You wanna go away to see his carriers
Said you don't need enough to know about it
All you wanna do is control it
You better think 'bout healing yourself, child –
Heal yourself
Well, it's time to hear somebody
And it's time you need somebody
Well, it's time to put down the stone
'Fore you wake up one day
And find your time is gone
Instrumental
You were born in the back seat of America
And you pride yourself in sharing her
Taught to work to please and pray on your knees
You pay for your cheap grace with your nominal fees
Oh, you try to change the news with you TV remote
You got the freedom to choose, but you choose not to vote
Better heal yourself, child –
Heal yourself
Think about healing yourself –
Think on it
Repeat and fade
