A Midnight Prayer for the Wounded Lover
Healing Light: Embracing Love, Joy, and Overcoming Sorrow
Lyrics
Be still your wounded heart
Encouragement to calm and console a wounded heart
Be still your troubled mind
Encouragement to calm and console a troubled mind
We’re all made out of stars
Reflection on the shared cosmic origin of humanity
Falling at the same time
Acknowledgment of shared struggles and challenges
May love come lift you up on its shoulders
Wishing for love to uplift and support in difficult times
And joy can keep you warm at night
Desire for joy to provide comfort during nighttime
May sorrow not return til you’re older
Hope that sorrow stays away until old age
And wrap you in a healing light
Desire for a healing light to envelop and comfort
And wrap you in a healing light
Reiteration of the wish for healing light's embrace
Be still your tender lungs
Encouragement to calm and console tender lungs
Be still your crooked smile
Encouragement to calm and console a unique smile
This damage can’t be undone
Acknowledgment that certain damage is irreversible
It’s gonna hurt for awhile
Acknowledgment of the enduring pain that follows
May love come lift you up on its shoulders
Wishing for love to uplift and support in difficult times
And joy can keep you warm at night
Desire for joy to provide comfort during nighttime
May sorrow not return til you’re older
Hope that sorrow stays away until old age
And wrap you in a healing light
Desire for a healing light to envelop and comfort
And wrap you in a healing light
Reiteration of the wish for healing light's embrace
I know it hurts you
Acknowledgment of the shared pain
You know it hurts me, too
Mutual recognition of the pain experienced
Yeah, I know it hurts you
Reiteration of the acknowledgment of shared pain
May love come lift you up on its shoulders
Wishing for love to uplift and support in difficult times
And joy can keep you warm at night
Desire for joy to provide comfort during nighttime
May sorrow not return til you’re older
Hope that sorrow stays away until old age
And wrap you in a healing light
Desire for a healing light to envelop and comfort
And wrap you in a healing light
Reiteration of the wish for healing light's embrace
And wrap you in a healing light
Final wish for the comforting embrace of a healing light
