Didn't Know It Was A Healing

I didn't know it was a healing, coming round that bend

Until I found myself in that dark hole again

I didn't know it was a healing coming through the door

Until I found myself laid out cold on the floor

It comes on quite unexpectedly it creeps under my skin

Before I even catch my breath it has me once again

Fighting and silently screaming all the way, I plead

Oh God, my life I still wish to lead

It rushes on, engulfing me until I lose my breath

And as that curtain begins to drop I think it is my death

The light begins to turn and I gulp a great big sigh

A wounded child is crying somewhere deep inside

Memories flood and once again my tears begin to pour

My heart beats fast, I think I'll die right here on the floor

Then I feel this great big sigh and know once again

That deep dark hole I feel is where the healing begins

The light begins to filter through and I begin to see

Emerging from the darkest hole is a brand new me

Once more I feel alive yet exhausted as I lay

Motionless yet no longer dreading one more day

I've taken the time, I've have done my work

My life begins to heal yet I know darkness still lurks

I realize that deep dark scary feeling

Isn't a curse but a down right healing.
