about

I was asked to write and perform a song for a Physician's Wellness Conference that had to do with the mentals aspects of healing.

lyrics

The Healing Touch
by John Beccia

There’s so much faith in the medicines we give
Hope’s just as strong, and can build a person’s will to live
We can’t be distant, we cannot stand apart
The healing touch is somehow connected to the heart

So many mysteries, so many things we can’t explain
We can’t end suffering but we can try to treat the pain
Cause every person’s a growing, living work of art
The healing touch is somehow connected to the heart

CHORUS - Connected to the heart
Directed through the heart
The healing touch is somehow connected to the heart

Are we so different here in this modern age
So many changes, how can we ever gauge
How much of love that each child needs from the start
The healing touch is somehow connected to the heart

A mix of feeling, a mix of common sense
To be yourself is the strongest self defense
We try to stay with this course we cannot chart
The healing touch is somehow connected to the heart
REPEAT CHORUS

Experiences, how they determine what we are
Strange how emoyions can leave the deepest kind of scar
And to suppress them is never healthy, or too smart
The healing touch is somehow connected to the heart
REPEAT CHORUS
