Todd Rundgren - Healer lyrics

My child, i had a visitation in my sleep last night Something was calling to me from a blinding light And told me not to fear it, hear it It said, "it's time to make the world a little wiser. There are enough destroyers and criticizers. The world needs a healer, healer." And i awoke, my heart was pounding 'cause it was not like me to have such dreams But i could not fall asleep for wondering Why the messenger had come to me My child, i am too old and i am set in my ways But now i realize just what the voice conveyed You will be a healer, healer Rejoice, rejoice, rejoice Because the healer comes The healer comes Your destiny i lay before you But then the choice was never yours nor mine When it's time to take this burden on you Then i will take the one you leave behind
