You mean sort of like this?
The Healer
Here comes the healer with gentle words of kindness Doesn't know it all – and is never really sure Has no remedy for deafness or for blindness Sees all and listens – but doesn't sell a cure Sits there and listens –as they tell of all their sorrows There's no prescription before it's time to part Their truth seeps out – as they face their tomorrows And in the silence they listen to their heart
Here comes the healer with such quiet disposition Bearing no tribute to those who can't receive Never respectful of status or position Humouring no one to flatter or deceive Cannot be fooled as a wise guy or a chancer Having heard it all before – can always meet your stare Can only be seen though if you can face the answer Looks straight through you and lays your soul all bare
Here comes the healer – who's quiet, strong and gentle Gains trust instantly – with firm and open hand Telling of no drama – or story sentimental You end up telling so much more than you had planned No panacea, snake oil or magic potion There are no magic spells or books upon his shelf Holding the mirror until you have the notion That you can look inside and start to heal yourself.
