|
Waiting there for thirty eight years |
|
Cried so long, he ran out of tears. |
|
Just a worn out man |
|
looking for a healing hand. |
|
Then one day, his chance came along. |
|
A healing man who can make him strong, |
|
and he caught his eyes, |
|
but his question took him by surprise. |
|
(Reff) |
|
Do you wanna be well, really wanna be well? |
|
Are you willing to take up your mat and help yourself? |
|
Do you wanna be free, really wanna be free? |
|
If you wanna be healed and whole, you gotta wanna be well. |
|
Ever tried to fix yourself, |
|
and every time you got up you fell, |
|
and you wallowed there, |
|
drowning in your own despair? |
|
Have you gotten used to the chains? |
|
Are you so attached to the pain, |
|
you're afraid to part? |
|
Then ask the man for a brand new heart. |
|
(Reff) |
|
Do you wanna be well, really wanna be well? |
|
Are you willing to take up your mat and help yourself? |
|
Do you wanna be free, really wanna be free? |
|
If you wanna be healed and whole, you gotta wanna be well. |
|
There's a better life waiting just for you. |
|
There's endless open spaces in the sun. |
|
But you gotta wanna be well, really wanna be well. |
|
Are you willing to take up your mat and help yourself? |
|
Do you wanna be free, really wanna be free? |
|
If you wanna be healed and whole, you gotta wanna be well. |
|
If you wanna be healed and whole... |
|
you gotta wanna be well. |
