Healing Song
Norman Bebo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can tell by this crack of light
Oh girl this is gonna be,
It's gonna be a beautiful day
And I can tell by this stretch of silver
Spreading all out across the curves of your face

And for the love, for the love of God
I've gathered up my pride,
I've gathered up my bits and bone
And in a world that broke me down
I'm standing up, but not alone

'Cause this is a healing song, oh
And I've got a heart that fails
But love is pushing me along,
I'm lifting up above this veil
This is a healing song, oh
And I don't know if you can tell
But love is pushing me along
I'm pressing up against the rail,
Pressing up against the rail

I can smell the summer in the air
And I swear I can almost see,
I can almost see my soul
Son, I know that it don't seem fair
But I'm turning away from here,
And oh Lord, I am coming home

I've got friends here that love me
I've got all this mercy beating in my blood
And I've got friends here that love me
And that's something good,
That's something good

You and I, we've come so far
We've come so far, we cannot look back
I said you and I, we've come so far
We've come so far, we cannot look back

I said you and I (you and I, we've come so far)
We've come so far (you and I, we've come so far)
We've come so far (you and I, we've come so far)
We cannot look back (you and I cannot look back)

I said you and I (you and I, we've come so far)
We've come so far (you and I, we've come so far)




We've come so far (you and I, we've come so far)
No, we cannot look back (we cannot look back)

I can tell by this crack of light
I sense a glimmer of hope


Oh girl this is gonna be,
Things are going to get better


It's gonna be a beautiful day
I feel optimistic about the future


And I can tell by this stretch of silver
I see happiness spreading across your face


Spreading all out across the curves of your face
Your smile is contagious


And for the love, for the love of God
Because of my love for God,


I've gathered up my pride,
I've set aside my ego,


I've gathered up my bits and bone
I've collected my broken pieces,


And in a world that broke me down
Despite the hardships I've faced,


I'm standing up, but not alone
I'm standing strong with the support of others


'Cause this is a healing song, oh
This song brings healing,


And I've got a heart that fails
I'm not perfect,


But love is pushing me along,
Love is my motivation,


I'm lifting up above this veil
I'm rising above my struggles


And I don't know if you can tell
You may not see it,


But love is pushing me along
But love is always there,


I'm pressing up against the rail,
I'm reaching for success


I can smell the summer in the air
I sense a new beginning


And I swear I can almost see,
I envision a better future


I can almost see my soul
I'm becoming more self-aware


Son, I know that it don't seem fair
I acknowledge that life isn't always just


But I'm turning away from here,
But I'm moving past my struggles


And oh Lord, I am coming home
And I'm seeking solace in my faith


I've got friends here that love me
I've got a support system


I've got all this mercy beating in my blood
I'm grateful for the love and kindness in my life


And that's something good,
And that's a positive thing


You and I, we've come so far
We've overcome a lot together


We cannot look back
We need to focus on moving forward


I said you and I, we've come so far
We've made significant progress together


No, we cannot look back
We must not dwell on our past mistakes
