  • If your body's feelin' bad
    And it's the only one you have
    You want to take away the pain
    Go out walkin' in the rain.
    You watch the flowers go to bed,
    Ask the man inside your head
    Your spirit never has to grieve
    All ya got to do's believe.
    The faith healer
    The faith healer

    All ya got to do is feel
    Your body's going to start to heal
    The fingertips of holy fire
    Everlasting sweet desire
    It don't matter what the doctor said
    The healer man will sail away
    Immortality for two
    The miracles, they will come to you

    The faith healer
    The faith healer
    Can I put my hands on you?
    Can I put my hands on you?
    The faith healer
    The faith healer

    Faith, and hope and charity
    The simple relativity
    He can make you understand
    All you've got to do is take his hand
    It don't matter what somebody said
    Ask the man inside your head
    The fingertips of holy fire
    Everlasting sweet desire

    The faith healer
    The faith healer
    Can I put my hands on you?(six times)
    The faith healer.......(3 times and end) Writer/s: STEVEN LINDSAY
