Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I submerged myself for so many years
Hardened my heart, I cried no tears
I was running away
I was trying to hide
Thought I knew myself, but my truths were lies
My distorted sense of self left space for no one else
Behind the wall of sleep, I felt safe and out of reach
A hole inside of me, as deep as any sea
As dark as any pit, still, I had to fill it in
[Chorus]
She healed me and set me free
Set me free
Gave me love and sweet release
Heal, heal, heal yourself
Reach out now to someone else
To someone else
Someone else
[Verse 2]
Met someone special, I fell in love
She knew I was sick but didn't let on
God gave me an English rose
To heal my heart and save my soul
Love couldn't lift my sadness
I wouldn't let her share in my darkness
Then she told me with a smile
She was carrying our child
A miracle it seemed
Would I care to share her dream?
[Chorus]
She healed me and set me free
Set me free
Gave me love and sweet release
Heal, heal, heal yourself
Reach out now to someone else
To someone else
Someone else
[Verse 3]
We set up home, times were good
I really tried the best I could
Now and then I slipped and fell
Became a stranger to myself
A second child was born out of love
Still the sly and snaky whispers wouldn't stop
I had trouble on my mind and in my blood
Thought I was free but was in jail
Thought I'd won but I had failed
Only weak men run away
You have to face yourself someday
[Bridge]
If you find someone you really love
Hang in there and hang in tough
If you've no love for yourself
How can you love somebody else?
My warring heart tore me apart
Spent too long in the dark
Angry, a closed book
She opened it to living
She opened it to giving
She opened it to living
[Chorus]
She healed me and set me free
Set me free
Gave me love and sweet release
Heal, heal, heal yourself
Reach out now to someone else
She healed me and set me free
Set me free
Gave me love and sweet release
Heal, heal, heal yourself
Reach out now to someone else
[Refrain]
To someone else
To someone else
To someone else
Reach out now to someone else
To someone else
Reach out now to someone else
