That's the kind of second sight that doesn't last too long
F#But when I was lost, I heard a C#voice that brought me healing.
                                                      B   D#m– C#

G#mWith his sweet and gentle touch, he sure D#munlocked my soul
So Din return I surely Bm7want to help to, set him fC#ree
