Heal You in Time
Gretta Ray Lyrics
When I was a child, I made you mine
Learned the depths of your design
You were vibrant and wild
Appeared so bold
So full of life, invulnerable
From day one, you took me in
Went on to shape me into all I am
And I came to believe I knew you best
But I didn’t think ahead
Riddled with excitement, who could have foretold
You were far from eternal by default
All was calm until the day
They came in thinking they could pave the way
They, the demons that take, won’t hesitate to fuel the fire and seal our fate
How I want to hold on to all that you are for longer
But I can feel you changing as you age and
I know the way that you were isn’t the way you will be
But keep hoping I can make you fine and heal you in time
Though at home in your warmth,
When you grow cold
The way you wrap me in your arms, it won’t get old
Though a valiant force, one to be reckoned with
You’re gracious at best, with only love to give
But I have watched as overtime
They’ve made a slave of you and run you dry
They’ve broken you down
Hollowed you out
Is there nothing left but doubt now?
How I want to hold on to all that you are for longer
But I can feel you changing as we age and
I know the way that you were isn’t the way you will be
But keep hoping I can make you fine and heal you in time
All’s not lost if I can make you fine
You’re all I’ve got, I want to heal you in time
All’s not lost if I can make you fine
You’re all I want, I’ve got heal you in time
All’s not lost if I can make you fine
You’re all I’ve got, I want to heal you in time
All’s not lost if I can make you fine
I’ve got to heal you in time
How I want to hold on to all that you are for longer
But I can feel you changing as we age and
Although the way that you were isn’t the way you will be,
I’ll keep hoping I can make you fine and heal you in time
Learned the depths of your design
You were vibrant and wild
Appeared so bold
So full of life, invulnerable
From day one, you took me in
Went on to shape me into all I am
And I came to believe I knew you best
But I didn’t think ahead
Riddled with excitement, who could have foretold
You were far from eternal by default
All was calm until the day
They came in thinking they could pave the way
They, the demons that take, won’t hesitate to fuel the fire and seal our fate
How I want to hold on to all that you are for longer
But I can feel you changing as you age and
I know the way that you were isn’t the way you will be
But keep hoping I can make you fine and heal you in time
Though at home in your warmth,
When you grow cold
The way you wrap me in your arms, it won’t get old
Though a valiant force, one to be reckoned with
You’re gracious at best, with only love to give

You’re all I want, I’ve got heal you in time
All’s not lost if I can make you fine
You’re all I’ve got, I want to heal you in time

I’ve got to heal you in time
How I want to hold on to all that you are for longer
But I can feel you changing as we age and
Although the way that you were isn’t the way you will be,
I’ll keep hoping I can make you fine and heal you in time
