Todd Rundgren 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
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
