Healed by Degrees

Yeah, darkness was all he'd ever known from the moment of his birth So, he learned to live without the light as he sojourned here on Earth One day a man took him by the hand and walked him out of town He could tell by the way he felt inside something great was about to go down There's a power in this world, that will bring you to your knees Sometimes the healing comes by degrees Well they stopped and the man touched his eyes and asked him what he could see He dimly saw men walking by though to him they looked like trees Again, he felt the man touch his eyes and his soul stirred deep inside He saw the light of day at last as he looked up toward the sky There's a power in this world, that can help the blind man see Sometimes the healing comes by degrees Sometimes that healing comes by degrees Oh, can you feel the feeling Yeah, we all need the healing Look out There's a power in this world, that will heal both you and me Sometimes the healing comes by degrees Sometimes that healing comes by degrees All of us have pain to heal as we sojourn here on Earth We need a chance to start again, a kind of second birth We all lose our way at times, led away by foolish pride If we're willing to let the healing start, we again can see the light There's a power in this world, that's here to set us free So let the healing come by degrees So let the healing come by degrees
