about

The voice of one crying in the wilderness.
I have made myself strong. I am prepared to take my medicine.

lyrics

He cannot heal her
He cannot heal her
She will not believe the hurt
He cannot heal her

Why does my mind work to tire me?
Why am I always trying to be
Something beyond what is near to me
Who has programmed me?

She learns to feel the hurt
She yearns to heal the hurt
Tries to conceal it in turn
He cannot heal her

Who forged the knife that created me?
Who has decided that I must be
Stuck here? My race feeds on infamy.
Who has programmed me?

She turns and faces the hurt
Vows to reclaim what was hers
She learns to carry the work
He cannot heal her

He cannot heal her
He cannot heal her
She will reclaim what was hers
He cannot heal her
