I am a medicine man, I do a medicine dance.
i am a medicine man, I sing a medicine chant.
i am a medicine man, I have a medicine tale.
Oh baby baby, don't be so troubled.
I got bricks to make you strong.
Oh baby baby, don’t feel so bad.
I got flowers to heal your wounds.
Oh baby baby, don’t look so sad.
I got blues to make the devils go.
Text is inspired by Bobby McFerrin’s song “Medicine Man”.

It has nothing to do with the Medicine Man itself. It just caught me for the man’s presence so calm and elegant, and yet, bizarre and unconventional.
