Healer

My child, I had a visitation in my sleep last night
 Something was calling to me from a blinding light
 And told me not to fear it, hear it
 It said, "it's time to make the world a little wiser.
 There are enough destroyers and criticizers.
 The world needs a healer, healer"
 And I awoke, my heart was pounding
 'cause it was not like me to have such dreams
 But I could not fall asleep for wondering
 Why the messenger had come to me
 My child, I am too old and I am set in my ways
 But now I realize just what the voice conveyed
 You will be a healer, healer
 Rejoice, rejoice, rejoice
 Because the healer comes
 The healer comes
 Your destiny I lay before you
 But then the choice was never yours nor mine
 When it's time to take this burden on you
 Then I will take the one you leave behind
