Come Healing

Tomorrow is the big day.  The plan is to open poor old Kadizzle up and take his cancerous prostate out.  With luck all the damn cancer will come out with it.  Music has a wonderful way of " soothing the savage beast".   In the course of exploring music while surfing the web Kadizzle ran across this Leonard Cohen song on Spotify.  The name of the song is come healing.  The song perfectly captures the thoughts running through my mind.  Kadizzle is not religious in any traditional sense.  That does not mean he cannot be awed by the universe and suspect something is up.  Hope is what keeps us all alive. Hoping for a better world and a better tomorrow is fundamental to life and progress.   Prayer is really hope in disguise.  There would be no point in waking up tomorrow if there was no hope for something good to happen.  Before you can convince anyone of anything, you have to convince yourself. 

Songwriters: Leonard, Patrick Raymond / Cohen, Leonard

Chorus:
O, gather 'round the brokenness
Bring it to me now
The fragrance of those promises
You never dared to vow

The splinters that you carried
The cross you left behind
Come healing of the body
Come healing of the mind

And let the heavens hear it
The penitential hymn
Come healing of the spirit
Come healing of the limb

Leonard:
Behold the gates of mercy
In arbitrary space
And none of us deserving
Of cruelty or the grace

Together:
O, solitude of longing
Where love has been confined
Come healing of the body
Come healing of the mind

O, see the darkness yielding
That tore the light apart
Come healing of the reason
Come healing of the heart

O, troubledness concealing
An undivided love
The heart beneath is teaching
To the broken heart above

And let the heavens utter
Let the earth proclaim
Come healing of the altar
Come healing of the name

Chorus:
O, longing of the branches
To lift the little bird
O, longing of the arteries
To purify the blood

Together:
And let the heavens hear it
The penitential hymn
Come healing of the spirit
Come healing of the limb

O let the heavens hear it
The penitential hymn
Come healing of the spirit
Come healing of the limb
