Healer

My child, I had a visitation in my sleep last night Something was calling to me from a blinding light And told me not to fear it, hear it It said, "it's time to make the world a little wiser There are enough destroyers and criticizers The world needs a healer, healer" And I awoke, my heart was pounding Cause it was not like me to have such dreams But I could not fall asleep for wondering Why the messenger had come to me My child, I am too old and I am set in my ways But now I realize just what the voice conveyed You will be a healer, healer Rejoice, rejoice, rejoice Because the healer comes The healer comes Your destiny I lay before you But then the choice was never yours nor mine When it's time to take this burden on you Then I will take the one you leave behind
