Do You Wanna Be Well lyrics

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.

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.

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.
