Don't You Let 'Em

Knowing I need to heal myself, I am on the Mend, again.

I only got one more Day
oh, only one more Day
To bring about my Healin' Child
Then they come to take me Away
Don't let them take me Away

No tellin' what they'll Do
Them drunkin' Fools
They don't know nothin' but to put things In
That will stir you Around
Until you don't know what is Up from what is Down

They take your money to Play
Before you know it they take you Away
Can you help me bring my Healin' Child
The gifts you have they drive me Wild
You are the one with that Heart so Mild

I only got one more Day
Oh, only one more Day
To bring about my Healin' Child
Then they come to take me Away
No tellin' what crazy things they'll Say

There's no tellin' what they'll Do
They lost themselves long Ago
Now they just are rollin' on a wagon outta Control
They've all lost their Souls
And they think they're gonna make me Whole

The Lion needs to be Free
He can't live caged where he can't Breathe
I will take my Spirit where ever I Go
But yet they will capture it and take it Down
When they put me in that place where there is no Sound

I only got one more Day
oh, only one more Day
To bring about my Healin' Child
Then they come to take me Away
Don't let them take me Away

I been playin' this game all my Life
On the edge of this blade, the edge of a Knife
And I laugh in the Mornin' when I know they have not Come
Oh, but I know they're getting Close
They so hope to reach me the Most

Wanting so badly to pull me Down
To bring to my smiling face another Frown
To put me in a box and set me in the Ground
But if they leave me a crack to slither Into
Dust will settle and their bag will be empty when they look Into

And the man with the sickle he will cry a Puddle
They will write in their books another way to Muddle
And the story will be the same of them and their Game
Of the one who hunts for the child who loses Them
And the story is told both this and that again, and Again

I only got one more Day
oh, only one more Day
To bring about my Healin' Child
Then they come to take me Away
Don't let them take me Away

Turn Around
Once you shoot your Bow
Turn Around
And you'll feel the Arrow Pierce
Don't be Afraid
Listen to the Sound
No one can Fool
The one so Mild
My dear crazy Child
