Do You Wanna Be Well
Waiting there for thirty eight years
Cried so long, he ran out of tears
Just a worn out man
Looking for a healing hand
Then one day, his chance came along
A healing man who can make him strong
And he caught his eyes
But his question took him by surprise
(Reff)
Do you wanna be well, really wanna be well?
Are you willing to take up your mat and help yourself?
Do you wanna be free, really wanna be free?
If you wanna be healed and whole, you gotta wanna be well
Ever tried to fix yourself
And every time you got up you fell
And you wallowed there
Drowning in your own despair?
Have you gotten used to the chains?
Are you so attached to the pain
You're afraid to part?
Then ask the man for a brand new heart
(Reff)
Do you wanna be well, really wanna be well?
Are you willing to take up your mat and help yourself?
Do you wanna be free, really wanna be free?
If you wanna be healed and whole, you gotta wanna be well
There's a better life waiting just for you
There's endless open spaces in the sun
But you gotta wanna be well, really wanna be well
Are you willing to take up your mat and help yourself?
Do you wanna be free, really wanna be free?
If you wanna be healed and whole, you gotta wanna be well
If you wanna be healed and whole...
You gotta wanna be well
