Ruthie Foster - Heal Yourself lyrics

You wanna save your survival
You wanna know 'bout your true arrival
You wanna make real music,
Not just part time, but really use it

But you don't want nobody else to hear it
'Cause you think somebody's gonna steal it
You better think 'bout healin' yourself, child –
Heal yourself

You are the true believer,
Embrace your purity
Say the race deceivers
Took your dignity

Lord, I ain't keeper of the barriers
You wanna go away to see his carriers
Said you don't need enough to know about it
All you wanna do is control it
You better think 'bout healing yourself, child –
Heal yourself

Well, it's time to hear somebody,
And it's time you need somebody
Well, it's time to put down the stone
'Fore you wake up one day
And find your time is gone

Instrumental

You were born in the back seat of America,
And you pride yourself in sharing her
Taught to work to please and pray on your knees
You pay for your cheap grace with your nominal fees

Oh, you try to change the news with you TV remote
You got the freedom to choose, but you choose not to vote
Better heal yourself, child –
Heal yourself

Think about healing yourself –
Think on it
