Overcome with my disease,
Felt like a nightmare but it wasn't a dream
I had many visions that i could not achieve
My life was over, it seemed
Body and mind not working as trained
Tormented by stiffness, numbness, and pain
Like an enchanter, spells locked inside
Who could not perform, how hard he tried

The great physician heals the broken-hearted
The great physician binds up their wounds

I was an addict deprived of addiction
Agonized by withdrawal symptoms
The lord gave and had taken away
I cried out to him lest i should end up this way

The great physician heals the broken-hearted
The great physician binds up their wounds
The great physician never from me departed
The great physician is the reason i can play this tune
