"So, you can't rush your healing
Darkness has it's teachings
Love is never leaving
You can't rush your healing
Your healing
Mama, well, she told me time is such a wonderful gift
You're not running out
You're really running in
Confusion clouds the heart but it also points the way
Quiet down the mind
The more the song will play."
