Healer's Song from A Comedy by Oiseaux

I know how it all plays out,
no need to await the reveal.
You can watch it spread through the crowd.
They are all afraid to be healed.
Just a little spark in the air -
just a little smoke to make it real.
I know how it all plays out.
They know what it means to be healed.

I know what it means to be healed.

You have only so much sense,
you have limited ways to feel,
you have no clue how intense -
you are just afraid to be healed.
Feel it behind your ears;
you can feel it snap at your heels.
You can look back through the tears,
find out what it means to be healed.
See Him on the garden path,
down among His friends He has kneeled.
He is in His moment of doubt.
He knows what it means to be healed.
See Him hanging in the sky,
see Him hanging over the fields,
watch the water pour from His side.
In that moment all of us were healed.

I know what it means to be healed.

All your little works.

I have seen it all play out.
I am not ashamed to reveal
the moments where I tipped my hand.
I am not afraid to be healed.
I answer to a higher power,
one who won’t be swayed on appeal,
and I’ll be vindicated in the end.
I know what it means to be healed.
