Am                            F
I've kept it inside much too long
              Am
there's no relief
Am                              F
carried it around just like a stone
              Am
too heavy for me

        F         G D
I have paid the price for standing
Em                     Dm
on the outside looking in
      F             G          Am
it's time to let the healing begin

A boy is strung out he's going through hell
His mother weeps
His spirit is broken and there's nothing left
Just a terrible need

And the days are marked
by the heaviness of the heart
It never mends
Until the healing begins

Chorus:
C                 Gm                      C
and the tension prowls the street like an animal
C           Gm                           C
the people stay behind their locks and chains
         F
it's a shame
         G                     Am      Em     Dm
when so many are trying their best to live as one
          F                 G               Am
and the smoke from the fires covers up the sun

A young girl is lying in the dirt
Her dreams ended there
Caught in the crossfire on somebody's turf
Hatred in the air

It's a voice that never sings
A winter without the spring
It never ends
It's time to let the healing begin
It's time to let the healing begin
