I Shall Be Healed Songtext
von Michael McDermott

Everything here lately
Everything, more or less
Seems its slowly becoming
Such a beautiful mess
From the gates west of Eden
To the oceans leading out
Round here everybody′s bleeding
Everybody's filled with doubt
Then out on the horizon
They say the truth is revealed
Say the word, Just say the word
Say the word, I shall be healed
My mother and my father
They always believed
But me I felt different
I always felt so deceived
I went looking uptown
Went looking downtown too
I even went to the westside
I went looking for you


One day in South Carolina
I saw you in a cotton field
Say the word, Just say the word
Just say the word, and I shall be healed
Many is the hour, that i′ve seen go to waste
Is your heart wilted like a flower
How will i find you in this place?
I heard you were seen on Ashland
On your way to Wicker Park
They say that you looked different
You were standing in the dark
You were there for just a minute
When they looked back you were gone
You were always like that
You loved to keep on keeping on
Then I stood at an alter
The weight had caused me to kneel
Say the word, Just say the word
Just say the word
I shall be healed
