Lyrics

EVERYDAY HEALERS
(Eleni Kelakos)
Copyright 2003 Leg E Cat Music, ASCAP

It's the volunteer at three Am who takes the crisis call
And talks a desperate denizen out of a deadly fall.
It's the teacher staying after school to teach a kid to read-
When everyone has given up, the teacher still believes.

Everyday healers, everyday lives,
Everyday angels, here in disguise.
Like ropes to the drowning,
A roof in the rain,
Everyday healers, everyday saints.

It's the stranger giving sage advice out of the total blue,
It's the lawyer who won't charge a fee in defense of the truth.
It's the singer on the darkened stage who seems to know your pain,
It's the nurse who rocks the newborn strung out on cocaine.

Everyday healers, everyday lives,
Everyday angels, here in disguise.
Like ropes to the drowning,
A roof in the rain,
Everyday healers, everyday saints.

They're humble and human, all ages and types,
All colors, all genders, from all walks of life.
It's the stuff that we're made of,
It's the best we can be,
And it's lurking in you, if you'll just set it free.

It's the worker at the rest home who wipes the wrinkled face
Of the old man in the armchair staring into space.
It's the woman with a child from a foster home
Who hugs that baby to her as if it were her own.

Everyday healers, everyday lives,
Everyday angels here in disguise.
Like ropes to the drowning,
A roof in the rain,
Everyday healers, everyday saints.
