Todd Rundgren - Healing Pt. 2 (Lyrics Below) (HQ)

Healing Pt. 2 from Healing
LYRICS:
Where you are going
You cannot take your body
You are on a journey,
The baggage is too heavy
You can leave your legs behind you,
You will learn to fly
You can leave your arms behind you,
You will touch the sky
You can leave your head behind you,
You are thought itself
You can leave the rest behind you,
You are breath itself
Now you are naked,
There's no one here to judge you
See the clear light
Shining high above you
Then you're floating in the silence,
You are not alone
For the power of your being
Keeps you flowing on
Look upon yourself
Only with compassion
Strip away the shell
Hiding your perfection
Though your past was full of darkness,
Now the past is gone
And your life is starting over
When it's just begun
Now you are whole,
Don't you recognize it
Towering eternal
Behind the troubled thoughts that hide it
Though at times it seems so distant,
It is always there
When you need it's peace and power,
You will know it's here

I first heard this song in 1981 when I was 16, lying on my bed, listening to an FM radio station. Blew my mind! I could only remember that it was by Todd Rundgren and that was the last time I heard it for 42 years! Thanks to the miracle of internet and a lot of trial and error, I was reunited again. I think I might play it to my Year 5/6 class before their creative writing session next week!

I started listen to Todd when I was 14 in 1975. I literally grew up listening and seeing Todd - God is Good.

Always listen to the live album of Healing, as I drive to and from my chemotherapy infusions. The time it takes me to get there coincides with the total time of the album. Coincidence? I think not! Thank you, Todd. You're always there when I need you.

Hi. I hope you are doing well. Todd is only the instrument. God is the cause. You should give thanks to God.

Got Diagnosed with high blood pressure, I find this relaxing & very comforting to listen to

[@rogerp6903]

It isnt a death sentence ,everyone' blood pressure goes up and down .Through consistent and moderate exercise and modifying your diet you can control it

[@Ryanbrio]

One of the greatest songs I’ve ever heard. Bar none.

[@ziggytonumaa]

Amazing... "Healing" really stands the test of time. I do mean the entire album here, including the ballad / futuristic synth-rock opus "Shine". It's just so fresh and different and odd.. Todd Rundgren is such a blessing ♥️

[@keithparker1346]

I think musically Golden Goose is out of place but Healing is a great album

[@keithparker1346]

Im a Todd fan and usually dont like his vocals (sorry other fans) but i really think they suit this track and the whole album from memory. This track is probably in my top 20 songs of all time

Does anyone know how to get that "rotating steel drum rythmic sound that kicks in occasionally???

[@georgescheffler5249]

[@rogerp6903]

I m pretty sure Mr.Rundgren had programmed the modulating drum panning on a DX7 or similar.What a beautiful track
