Healer by Todd Rundgren

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
