Introdução: Am F
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
I have paid the price for standing
G Em Dm
on the outside looking in
F G Am
it's time to let the healing begin
verse II
Am F
a boy is strung out, he's going through hell
Am
his mother weeps
Am F
his spirit is broken and there's nothing left
Am
just a terrible need
F G F
and the days are marked, by the heaviness of the heart
Em Dm F G Am
it never mends, until the healing begins
C G C
and the tension prowls the street like an animal
C G 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
verse III
Am F
a young girl is lying in the dirt
Am
her dreams ended there
Am F
caught in the crossfire on somebody's turf
Am
hatred in the air
F G
it' a voice that never sings
F G
a winter without the spring
Em/D
it never ends
F G Am Em Dm
it's time to let the healing begin
F G Am
it's time to let the healing begin
Am F
