Song of the Healer
by Daniel Redwood
the song of the healer is the song of the windit’s the song of the mountain where the rivers begin
it’s the song of the forest, the song of the field
it’s the song that I sing when I need to be healed
it’s a song of the flower and the healing green leaf
the root and the berry, and the cleansing of grief
it’s a song for the pain when it seems there’s no end
a song of the grace that awaits us all ’round the bend
oh never say never, it’s not that way
and never say die ’til your dying day
hope springs eternal if you just let it in
open your heart, feel the healing wind
it’s a song of the springtime and the budding of trees
song of the summer and the moments we seize
it’s the song of the autumn and the harvest we need
the song of the power of winter, asleep in the seed
it’s a song of deliverance sung with a sigh
you can sing it in a harmony ever so high
or sing it alone in the heat of the night
praying for a fever to break by dawn’s early light
oh never say never, it’s not that way
and never say die ’til your dying day
hope springs eternal if you just let it in
open your heart feel the healing wind
it’s a song that’s been sung ’round the world, yes it’s true
in every language, by folks like me and you
and now our time has come, yes they’re calling our name
to raise up our voices, to carry the flame
