Healing Hands

Time favors the afflicted
The broken-hearted, the abandoned and addicted
Those deprived of a mother's love
A brother's hug, a father who never tried enough (damn)
And the trauma that we carry inside
We find it necessary to hide, but pride'll get you buried alive
Under the weight of sorrow
And the weight of a broken promise
We waitin' for tomorrow to cope with the open dishonests

And life should be cherished (yeah)
But people's new "vice" is they don't wanna hear us (nuh-uh)
So we steadily dealing with the pain we inherit
They rather compare us, our status, instead of our merits (damn)
Wow, and time heals all wounds
Not just physical
Even when your spirit is bruised (uh-huh)
So when life got you down, and you can't shake the feeling
Know the hands on the clock keep spinning for your healing (uh-huh)

The clocks keep ticking
The worlds keep spinning
Tomorrow's a new day (new day)
There's nothing to gain
Holding yesterday's pain
Today is a new day (let it go)
The future looks better
The sun is gonna shine, man, it don't rain forever
'Cause if life got you down, and you can't shake the feeling
Know the hands on the clock keep spinning for your healing

(It's for your healing)

(Come on)
You had a bad adolescence
Can't move on, stuck between the past and the present
You can't trust, 'cause your dad was lackin' in presence
Mad and defensive, poppin' tabs of antidepressants
Prayin' that it takes the pain away ("Please")
You physically sick
Your whole body hurts on a rainy day (talk to 'em)

You closer to a sober life
Keep composure, closure don't come overnight
They quick to speak, but slow to listen to they own advice
Talk is cheap but we know listening is overpriced (uh-huh)
You closer than you were before (close)
Go the Safeway and see what life has in "store"
If life got you down, and you can't shake the feeling (let's go)
Know the hands on the clock keep spinning for your healing (uh-huh)

It gets better
It does, I promise you
Peace be with you, I'm right here
And also with you (uh-huh)
All you need is time
Time, man
It's all you need, shit
And you be out here (mm-hm)
