Mike Love - Let The Healing Begin lyrics

[Chorus] Let the healing begin Open up and let the Love flow in Let hope and joy come and destroy your suffering Let the healing begin [Verse 1] Cause we've been down for so long in Babylon Got to be strong Time to move on We can't afford the rent no more Beating our fists upon the door Won't take no more Won't stand here waiting Contemplating on the shore Cause we're ready for some change It's time to rearrange Things are getting so strange in this hour Wicked men sit up in power while most cower Choose to believe To be deceived by these cowards So Babylon I'm fading from your sight Babylon I'm fading from your sight Because I know it's gonna be alright If I give up this fight And get some sleep tonight Cause fighting never did solve anything And Love is all that I man have to bring Because I'd rather jump and dance and sing And spend my time swimming In Love everlasting Cause if everything they say is true Then there's no hope for me No hope for you too So don't you believe a single word they say Cause they're the ones who got us in this fix we're in [Chorus] Let the healing begin Open up and let the Love flow in Let hope and joy come and destroy your suffering Let the healing begin [Verse 2] I have flown across to foreign lands And seen the inequalities forced on my fellow man I have witnessed things that in my heart I just can't stand And seen atrocities that have haunted me I can't overstand Little children gone for weeks without a bite to eat Grandmothers laboring Broken blisters bloodied on their feet People drinking sewer water cause they can't get nothing clean All innocent victims of this money machine Every single word I say is true But I got hope for me I got hope for you too So don't you believe a single word they say Cause we're the ones who come to fix this mess we're in [Chorus] Let the healing begin Open up and let the Love flow in Let hope and joy come and destroy your suffering Let the healing begin
