Lyrics Let the Healing Begin - Mike Love

Let the Healing Begin

Let the healing begin
Open up and let the Love flow in
Let hope and joy come and destroy your suffering
Let the healing begin
Cause we’ve been down for so long in Babylon
Got to be strong
Time to move on
We can’t afford the rent no more
Beating our fists upon the door
Won’t take no more
Won’t stand here waiting
Contemplating on the shore
Cause we’re ready for some change
It’s time to rearrange
Things are getting so strange in this hour
Wicked men sit up in power while most cower
Choose to believe
To be deceived by these cowards
So Babylon I’m fading from your sight
Babylon I’m fading from your sight
Because I know it’s gonna be alright
If I give up this fight
And get some sleep tonight
Cause fighting never did solve anything
And Love is all that I man have to bring
Because I’d rather jump and dance and sing
And spend my time swimming
In Love everlasting
Cause if everything they say is true
Then there’s no hope for me
No hope for you too
So don’t you believe a single word they say
Cause they’re the ones who got us in this fix we’re in
Let the healing begin
Open up and let the Love flow in
Let hope and joy come and destroy your suffering
Let the healing begin
I have flown across to foreign lands
And seen the inequalities forced on my fellow man
I have witnessed things that in my heart I just can’t stand
And seen atrocities that have haunted me
I can’t overstand
Little children gone for weeks without a bite to eat
Grandmothers laboring
Broken blisters bloodied on their feet
People drinking sewer water cause they can’t get nothing clean
All innocent victims of this money machine
Every single word I say is true
But I got hope for me I got hope for you too
So don’t you believe a single word they say
Cause we’re the ones who come to fix this mess we’re in
Let the healing begin
Open up and let the Love flow in
Let hope and joy come and destroy your suffering
Let the healing begin
