“Healing Time”

Words and Music by Josh Charles

Copyright © 2009 Josh Charles

When your life turns to shamblesAnd you can’t see your way throughAnd the nail starts to rustThe wound starts to bleedYou can’t catch your breathYour heart beats like a drumAnd the world around you is a blur

chorus

All you need is healing timeTo make it throughForget the pain and the sorrowThere’ll be a better tomorrow

repeat

When you’ve lost all your possessionsAnd all you’re left with are memoriesAnd the house where you grew upHas been washed away

repeat chorus

bridge

The future is tomorrowYesterday is goneThe struggle still continuesAnd the battle rages on

All you need is healing timeTo make it through…
