LYRICS FOR THE HEAL THE CHILD
YOU CAN TALK NOW CD
Written by Laurie M. Moran
CHILD BE ONE WITH ME
CHILD, I SEE YOU STANDING THERE
YOUR BRIGHT BLUE EYES LOOKING UP AT ME
CHILD, SEEMS LIKE I’M IN A DREAM
WATCHING YOU, WATCHING YOU AIMLESSLY
THE WORLD LOOKS MUCH TOO BIG
FROM YOUR LITTLE EYES
I’LL HOLD YOU IN MY ARMS
THERE’S NO NEED TO HIDE
REFRAIN:
YOU SURVIVED IT, DRUGS DENIED IT
DENIAL CRIES WHEN YOU OPEN THE DOOR
THE PAST CAN’T HARM YOU
THE LIGHT SURROUNDS YOU
FREEDOM WAITS, EAGLE’S SOAR
CHILD YOU ARE NOT WEAK BUT STRONG
COURAGEOUS COME ALONG
CHILD, COME AND BE HEALED WITH ME
WALK BEYOND YOUR FEAR, SEE WHO YOU ARE CALLED TO BE
THE NOISE WAS MUCH TOO LOUD FOR YOUR TINY EARS
I’LL HOLD YOU IN MY ARMS, THERE’S NO NEED TO FEAR
REFRAIN LEAD
CHILD YOU ARE NOT WEAK BUT STRONG
COURAGEOUS COME ALONG
CHILD COME AND BE HEALED WITH ME
CHILD COME AND BE ONE WITH ME, CHILD BE ONE WITH ME, CHILD
TO HER DADDY
DADDY, SHE MISSES HER DADDY
SHE WONDERS WHY HE LEFT, WHEN SHE NEEDED HIM
SHE LOOKS FOR HIM TO FIND HIM SITTING THERE
HER EYE’S FIXED ON HIM, HE TURNS TO SEE HER STARE
HE SMILES, OH HER DADDY SMILES
SHE REMEMBERS FROM LONG AGO
REFRAIN:
I’M TOLD THAT THERE’S A CHILD WHO LIVES INSIDE EACH OF US
NO MATTER HOW OLD WE GET WE’LL NEED RAINBOWS AND HUGS
DON’T UNDERSTAND IT YET, WHY THIS CHILD SINGS TO ME
IN A TENDER PLACE OF THE HEART, THE CHILD LIVES IN ME
I RESIST IT, DON’T WANT TO LET HIM IN
BUT SHE RUNS TO HIM, HOW COULD I STOP HER
WHEN SHE HOLDS ON TIGHT, NOT WANTING TO LET HIM GO
SHOULD I BE SURPRISED THAT SHE LOVES HIM SO
WHEN EVERY LITTLE GIRL LONGS TO FEEL HER FATHER’S LOVE
REFRAIN LEAD
HE SMILES, OH HER DADDY SMILES
I REMEMBER NOW IT WAS LONG AGO REFRAIN
…IN A TENDER PLACE OF THE HEART HER DADDY SPEAKS TO ME
IN A TENDER PLACE OF THE HEART THE CHILD HEALS IN ME
SHE LIVES IN ME
VISIONS IN A SACRED PLACE
I CLOSE MY EYES, ENTER A SACRED PLACE
OH GREAT SPIRIT, WHO’S VOICE I HEAR IN THE WIND
WHO’S BREATH GIVES LIGHT TO THE WORLD, HEAR ME
LOOK AT HIM SMILE AT HER
LOOK AT HIM COME TO HER, HE LOVES HER
LOOK AT HIM, LOOK AT HIM TAKE HER IN HIS ARMS
LOOK AT HIM ROCK HER, HE COMFORTS HER
REFRAIN:
THIS SACRED WORLD HAS NO BOUNDS, NOT LIKE WE KNOW HERE
TENSION AND TROUBLE HOLD US DOWN
CAUGHT IN FEAR, CAN’T SHOW THE LOVE THAT’S THERE
THERE COULD BE NO GREATER LOVE THAN THIS
A FATHER WITH HIS LITTLE GIRL LOOK AT HER GO TO HIM
LOOK AT HIM, LOOK AT HIM PLAY WITH HER
LOOK AT HIM FULFILL THE NEED, HE HEALS HER
REFRAIN LEAD REFRAIN
I CLOSE MY EYES, ENTER A SACRED PLACE
WHERE YOU COME TO ME
CRY AWHILE
REFRAIN:
CRY LITTLE CHILD, LET ME HOLD YOU FOR AWHILE
IT’S ALRIGHT TO BE SAD, FOR YOUR LIFE HAS BEEN UNKIND
LET YOUR TEARS BE SHED WITH MINE, CRY AWHILE
ALANA SHE IS TWO, I SEE HER FACE, THINK OF YOU
HIDING IN YOUR SECRET PLACE
YOUR WORLD WAS CRAZY OUT OF CONTROL
WHAT CAN YOU DO AT TWO YEARS OLD, YOU NEED YOUR MOMMY THEN
SO GO ON AND REFRAIN
DEVIN HE IS FOUR, THROUGH HIS EYE’S I’VE SEEN YOUR WAR
CONFUSED NOT KNOWING WHERE TO TURN
STILL CRAZY, OUT OF CONTROL
YOU HAVE NO POWER AT FOUR YEARS OLD
YOU LEARN HOW TO SURVIVE, SO GO ON AND REFRAIN LEAD
SARA SHE IS TEN, I STARE THROUGH HER AND REMEMBER WHEN
YOU AND I WERE IN HER PLACE, WE TRIED TO TAKE CARE OF THEM ALL
BUT WHEN YOUR TEN YOU’RE STILL VERY SMALL
YOU’RE NOT RESPONSIBLE THEN, SO GO AND REFRAIN
YOU CAN TALK NOW
YOU CAN TALK NOW, NO NEED TO HIDE ANYMORE
THE SILENCE YOU’VE ENDURED MUCH TOO LONG
TALK NOW, NO ONE WILL HARM YOU ANYMORE
COME OUT FROM YOUR HIDING PLACE COME OUT
OUR FRIEND SHE SAID TO TELL YOU, I’M SORRY THIS HAPPENED TO YOU
I CAN PROTECT YOU FROM NOW ON
REFRAIN:
SCARS OF CHILDHOOD WOUNDS BURN DEEP INTO YOUR SOUL
WE WILL LOVE YOU INTO WHOLENESS, SLOWLY LET GO
AND TRUST NOW YOU’RE NOT ALONE ANYMORE
THERE’S LOVING ARMS TO HOLD YOU THROUGH THE STORMS
TALK NOW, IT WILL LOSE IT’S POWER OVER YOU
BRING IT OUT INTO THE LIGHT AND BE HEALED
OUR FRIEND SHE THINKS IT’S TRUE I’M INCLINED TO BELIEVE HER TOO
WE’VE MADE A SAFE PLACE IN HER ROOM FOR YOU TO TALK NOW LEAD
OUR FRIEND SHE SAID TO TELL YOU I’M SORRY THIS HAPPENED TO YOU
I CAN PROTECT YOU FROM NOW ON REFRAIN
AND TALK NOW NO ONE WILL HARM YOU ANYMORE
COME OUT FROM YOUR HIDING PLACE COME OUT
THE SILENCE YOU’VE ENDURED TOO LONG
THERE’S POWER IN HEALING, IT WILL MAKE YOU STRONG
COME OUT FROM YOUR HIDING PLACE COME OUT
WORDS
YOU TELL ME I AM BAD I BELIEVE IT
YOU TELL ME I AM GOOD FOR NOTHING, SOMEHOW I LEARNED IT’S TRUE
YOU GRAB ME BY THE ARMS AND SCREAM
WHAT’S THE MATTER WITH YOU
YOU HEAR IT LONG ENOUGH AND WONDER WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU
REFRAIN:
BECAUSE YOU’RE THE ONE WHO IS IN CHARGE
YOU ARE THE AUTHORITY, YOU HAVE ALL THE POWER
YOU TEACH US WHO WE ARE AND WHAT THE WORLD IS LIKE
YOU TEACH US WHO WE ARE WHETHER YOU’RE WRONG OR RIGHT
I WILL WEAR IT ALL SO WELL THROUGHOUT MY LIFE
DO AS I SAY NOT AS I DO
WIPE THAT LOOK OFF YOUR FACE OR I WILL SLAP IT OFF OF YOU
CHILDREN SHOULD BE SEEN AND NOT HEARD
YOU HEAR IT LONG ENOUGH AND LEARN NOT TO SAY A WORD
(REFRAIN
THERE ARE WORDS EVERY CHILD MUST HEAR
YOU ARE IMPORTANT, YOU ARE ALWAYS GOOD
TAKE AS MUCH TIME AS YOU NEED I’LL BE PATIENT WITH YOU
YOU ARE DESTINED FOR GREATNESS, I AM HERE TO SUPPORT YOU
I WILL HOLD YOU WHEN YOU WANT ME TO
YOU DESERVE TO BE TREATED WITH KINDNESS
YOU DESERVE TO BE TREATED GENTLY I WILL TAKE GOOD CARE OF YOU
I AM WATCHING, I AM LISTENING, TELL ME HOW YOU FEEL
HEAL THE CHILD
IN YOUR EYES, I SEE GOD’S LOVE
THROUGH YOUR HANDS, I FEEL HER TOUCH
WRAPPED IN YOUR ARMS, I KNOW YOU CARE
LITTLE BY LITTLE THE WALLS COME DOWN
IN THE SURRENDER, ACCEPTANCE IS FOUND
AND THE FEAR THAT OVERWHELMS ME SLIPS AWAY
REFRAIN:
IN THIS SEARCH FOR LOVE, I FIND IT’S IN GOD’S TIME
AND YOU PLACE THE TRUTH BEFORE ME THAT I MIGHT SEE
IN THIS SEARCH FOR LOVE, YOU ARE A BLESSING
IT’S THROUGH YOUR UNCONDITIONAL LOVE I AM SET FREE
I GET STUCK ALONG THE WAY, I ASK YOU “WHAT’S THE POINT”
CONFUSION AND DESPAIR, THEN I SHUT DOWN
I RECALL SOMETHING YOU SAID, THE GENTLE WAY YOU TREAT ME
AND IN A MOMENT OF CLARITY, A QUIET VOICE INSIDE OF ME
WHISPERS, “HEAL THE CHILD, FILL HER NEED” (REFRAIN)
BRIDGE:
HAVE I TOLD YOU LATELY I LOVE YOU
I APPRECIATE YOUR CARE, IN THIS SEARCH FOR LOVE
FILL THE NEED
REFRAIN:
THERE SEEMS TO BE THIS NEED IN ME
SOMETHING NEW HARD TO EXPRESS
COULD IT BE A CRY FOR HELP
SOME VOID OR EMPTINESS, HOW DO YOU FILL THE NEED?
TAKE MY HAND IN YOURS FOR AWHILE
TAKE MY HAND IN YOURS HOLD THE CHILD’S
I’LL FEEL THE REASSURANCE, WON’T BE FRIGHTENED NEAR AS MUCH
TAKE MY HAND IN YOURS FOR AWHILE
SIT CLOSE TO ME FOR AWHILE
SIT CLOSE TO ME HEAR THE CHILD
LISTEN WITH A GENTLE HEART, I’LL TELL YOU HOW I FEEL
SIT CLOSE TO ME FOR AWHILE REFRAIN
HOLD ME IN YOUR ARMS FOR AWHILE
HOLD ME IN YOUR ARMS LIKE A CHILD
COMFORT THE SADNESS, HEAL SOME OF THE PAIN
HOLD ME IN YOUR ARMS FOR AWHILE
HOW DO YOU FILL THE NEED? HOW DO YOU FILL THE NEED? LEAD
WRAP MY BODY IN YOURS FOR AWHILE
WRAP MY BODY IN YOURS CARESS THE CHILD
I TREMBLE FROM THE MADNESS, SOOTH ME WITH YOUR EMBRACE
WRAP MY BODY IN YOURS FOR AWHILE
WRAP MY BODY IN YOURS FOR AWHILE
WRAP MY BODY IN YOURS FOR AWHILE
HOW DO YOU FILL THE NEED? HOW DO YOU FILL THE NEED?
HOW DO YOU FILL THE NEED?
DO YOU LOVE ME
I SIT ACROSS FROM YOU, STARE INTO YOUR EYES
AND TELL YOU THINGS ABOUT MY LIFE NO ONE HAS EVER KNOWN
YOU LOOK AT ME, YOUR EYES THEY FILL WITH TEARS
CONFUSED AND FULL OF FEAR
UNCOVER SECRETS I DON’T EVEN THINK I WANT TO KNOW
WHAT HAPPENS HERE?
YOU TOUCH A PART OF ME THAT’S FROZEN OR BURIED DEEP
I BEGIN TO SEE, THEN YOU LEAVE ME
YOU’RE TAKEN FROM THIS LIFE, SOMEHOW THEN I GO BACK IN TIME
AS IF WE NEVER MET, AND I FORGET, AND I’VE BEEN WONDERING
DO YOU LOVE ME? WHY DO I NEED TO KNOW
DO YOU LOVE ME? I DON’T RECALL YOU SAYING SO
AND I’VE BEEN WONDERING, IF YOU THINK EYE’S CAN SPEAK
HERE I AM AGAIN, SIT ACROSS FORM SOMEONE NEW
AND TELL HER THINGS ONLY YOU KNEW, SHE LOOKS AT ME
HER EYES THEY SEE THROUGH ME, REFLECT A SADNESS I DON’T SEE
DO THEY MIRROR ME? WHAT HAPPENS HERE?
I CANNOT FEEL THE PAIN BENEATH THE ANGER AND THE RAGE
IT’S ALL TOO STRANGE, WHY DO I NEED TO KNOW?
DO YOU LOVE ME? I DON’T RECALL YOU SAYING SO
DO YOU LOVE ME? WILL YOU LEAVE ME ALL TOO SOON?
DO YOU LOVE ME? WILL I FORGET I EVER KNEW?
WILL IT HAPPEN ONCE AGAIN, WILL I BE GUESSING WONDERING THEN
DO YOU LOVE ME?
MAYBE IT’S NOT SO IMPORTANT TO BE TOLD
MAYBE ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS
AND MAYBE MY HEART SHOULD JUST KNOW
DO YOU LOVE ME? DO YOU LOVE ME?
I DON’T RECALL YOU SAYING SO, AND I’VE BEEN WONDERING, IF YOU THINK EYE’S CAN SPEAK
WOMAN WHY DO YOU WEEP
WOMAN WHY DO YOU WEEP
ARE THE PAINS YOU SUFFER BURIED DEEP
WOMAN WHY DO YOU WEEP
ARE YOUR WOUNDS HEALING
THE MEMORIES SURFACING
SOMETHING YOU CAN’T BEAR TO KNOW
FLASHES IN YOUR BRAIN
IT’S TORMENT THIS TRAUMA THAT CAUSED YOUR PAIN
A CHILD WHIMPERING
SHE’S CALLING, CALLING, CRYING OUT
BUT NO ONE COMES NEAR, NO ONE EVEN HEARS (REFRAIN)
THE VIOLATION BLEEDS
THERE ARE NO BOUNDARIES
QUESTIONS INSIDE HER HEAD
SCREAMS IN SILENCE AND THE SOUL IS DEAD
A CHILD WHIMPERING
SHE’S CALLING, CRYING OUT, “MOMMY”
BUT NO ONE COMES NEAR, NO ONE EVEN HEARS
REFRAIN LEAD
HEALER OF THE SOUL
HEALER OF MY SOUL, COMFORT ME
WOMAN WOMAN WEEP
THE PAIN YOU SUFFER IS VERY DEEP
WOMAN WOMAN WEEP
YOUR WOUNDS HEALING
WOMAN WEEP
