Track #13 off of Beauty for Ashes by Midnite. 

Official Lyrics Transcription((c) Vaughn Andre Benjamin (BMI)):
"A Healing" 
A Healing
Bring a healing
Bring a healing
New experiments in psycho neuro sociology
Exploring addiction to see why it be
Gave them a choice between the substance and money
On a minimal scale it was 50/50
Increase the money, they leave the substance be
Medical journals pedigree have it printed in dem stationary
So money worry play a part ina dependency
How ever ironic that would seem to be
How ever ironic that would seem to be
Kind words and good emanation frequency
Proven most beneficial ina medically
It can bring down the tone so not to riot stampede
It can reach to your soul and feel to your need
Some one can relate, bring an instant healing
A healing
Bring a healing
Marijuana ina the ward with permission of the state and guard
Bring a healing
Bring a healing
Bring a healing
A therapeutic walk through the soul is a talk of healing
Just a spark of meaning
Forgiveness is redeeming 
A pretty bird soul mansion of closed off wings
Might free one wing
And then two wings
Is just that to fly is different from walk or swim
Just free your soul
Before the King
The deepest silence is listening
If it's fire come ya visit, it's ina higher cleansing
Bring a healing
Bring an instant healing
Bring a healing
I and I pray fe mercy to the benevolent King of Kings
Pray the vibes that send out fulfill reaching
All the upful current still a touch and a link
If one day they should allow in spirit
In the place where the healing keep consists
Looking for negative, it's opposite
And looking to be down is a higher uplift
Serve earth table with a platter of peacetime gifts
Tell them Haile Selassie I ordered it
That leaders can feed pon word sound strength 
To the people each I and I again
A healing
Bring an instant healing
Bring a healing
Bring a healing
Bring a healing
Bring a healing
Bring a healing

Don’t let the poor and the needy be devour 
The chastisement of poverty is in eminence ya
Ina the whole world me mean look at the bigger picture
An eleven foot six hundred pound tiger
Him get fed up all of a sudden what dem a pet him mouth for
Ina an instant he remember his true nature
Not to mention black mamba and king cobra
Mek any whey ga thank de father for well being oh Jah
Did distillation of the balance tek iniquity law?

Them did camp pan diamond and gold ina Africa
And ave retirement home down ina Equada
Them did flood out media ya wid them propaganda 
Then the dangerous situation need mediator
See wha groove to this a rhythm ya no boda wid dat
Mek the whole dancehall come alive with what
A rhythm a comfort a rhythm of hope a rhythm of niceness out ya
The brightness of a one countenance change another demeanor
Ina one bag a desperate decision out ya
In this time neighbor aga ave fe help neighbor 
Is ideological divide way deep down ya
Mek dictator can compel them supporters 
Fe draw hardware them a draw not pon canvas Jah
REPEAT CHORUS
To the blank slate
The allegiance whey them a give way ova Jah
Ova transient things wid consequence nah
All I a suffer over trial and error 
Sadness and hollow Jah know say it fe move go back
Metabolical chemical soup a get sick fe dat
Rasta face the situation as go conquer that
When a dread situation mek you think a lot
When is the self control get the blame fe what
When you know say that you is that’s when you show you not
When ina the ghetto red hot is self defense in that
Still a try avoid the plot dun deep in the plot
Some of them only ave joy when them pocket fat
Them ave friends and clientele enemy and lover
Family and all associates double and triple to dat
Each one is a system not just the one you see singular 
A city built upon embattlements should ave regard for
To the blank slate
The allegiance whey them a give way ova Jah
Ova transient things wid consequence nah
All I a suffer over trial and error 
REPEAT CHORUS
