Wounded Healer
Beyond the Black Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Keep my secret, don't leave a trace
Set my heart free from time and space
Come hear my sorrow
You stick around through my hardest days
Lead my way through this tangled maze
I believe in you to embrace
My soul, so tortured
I find relief
You give me peace
In silent grief
Youll find the answers
Come be my wounded healer
Sing your blissful melody cause
I believe in
The wonders of your medicine
You're the preacher
I feel it through my skeleton
Wounded healer
Save my soul from darkened nights
I see the light shining from your eyes
Ancient days from forgotten times
Still alive in your wooden site
I reach out to you
Use your spirits to heal me from
Demons haunting me through the storm
I need your power to get along
This life keeps burning
I find relief
You give me peace
In silent grief
Youll find the answers
I feel my heart rise to the skies
won't break apart
My soul in heaven
Come be my wounded healer...
Come be my wounded healer...
