Can You Heal Us (Holy Man) Lyrics
Crystal words that hang so fine - But none will stop us falling
Pulling faster all the time - Powerless to warnings
If you feel the hand of God - Can you guide it holy man?
But you are only flesh and blood - Waiting too for judgement
Still saying! Daddy don't weep Momma don't cry
Everybody gets their time
Don't be sad don't be blue - Pray for me
I'll do the same for you
Split the Father and the Son - Hand words to ease them
In the other is a god - Baptised by feeling
If you have the hand of God - Can you heal us holy man?
But you are only flesh and blood - Waiting too for judgement
Still saying!
Hang on tight hang on strong
How much longer can this go on
But don't be sad don't be blue - It's one more thing set to confuse
Daddy don't weep Momma don't cry
Every fear must have its time
Don't be sad don't be blue - Pray for me
I'll do the same for you.
Can you bring the hand of God?
Can you stop the killing?
Get us back to hope and love - Never more be needed
Still saying!
Bloods gone bad - bad to worse
Worse to bad and back again
But don't be sad don't be blue - It's one more thing sent to confuse
Momma don't weep Daddy don't cry
Every fear must have its time
Don't be sad don't be blue - Pray for me I'll do the same for you.
Pulling faster all the time - Powerless to warnings
If you feel the hand of God - Can you guide it holy man?
But you are only flesh and blood - Waiting too for judgement
Still saying! Daddy don't weep Momma don't cry
Everybody gets their time
Don't be sad don't be blue - Pray for me
I'll do the same for you
In the other is a god - Baptised by feeling
If you have the hand of God - Can you heal us holy man?
But you are only flesh and blood - Waiting too for judgement
Hang on tight hang on strong
How much longer can this go on
But don't be sad don't be blue - It's one more thing set to confuse
Every fear must have its time
Don't be sad don't be blue - Pray for me
I'll do the same for you.
Can you stop the killing?
Get us back to hope and love - Never more be needed
Bloods gone bad - bad to worse
Worse to bad and back again
But don't be sad don't be blue - It's one more thing sent to confuse
Every fear must have its time
Don't be sad don't be blue - Pray for me I'll do the same for you.

Does religon improve our lives or cause our problems? Weller skims the surface here but what a tune, check out the version on Live Wood, outstanding!!
The religious intensity experienced just before the fall, and clung to so strongly after it.
The crushing feeling that you have no right to make judgements as you are merely mortal and waiting for your time (in the sky) and will you get in anyway? You thought you were special but you're just 1 in 5 (or is it 7) billion. Insignificant. That creeping doubt....
He repeats this theme in Above The Clouds.
I am unsure about the split the father and son part. Paul Weller had a great relationship with his Dad apparently? Maybe his Dad kept pushing him to lighten up and 'Let it Be' and PW just wouldn't.
The chorus is as is: Hang on tight, hang on strong, how much longer can this go on....sad, blue etc..
Great song. Gives you hope....but not as much hope as Strange Museum does.....
