letra de how long does it take to heal? - rosanna lea

[verse 1]
she spends her day cleaning pretty white houses
cook the food, kiss the kids, press the blouses
not much time for her own kids, that’s how it is
getting late when she’s back at the township
jacarandas and flames side by side
still each night she must cross the divide
to a home with no rooms inside

[chorus]
how long does it take to heal
the heart that learned to be broken?
and what is there left to feel
when pain has gone so long unspoken?
and still some are forced to kneel
choose a life that should never be chosen
so when is redemption real?
freedom only a token
how long does it take to heal?
how long does it take to heal?
[verse 2]
in the museum, his dark eyes are widening
feeling the anger rise up inside of him
all the pain that his family’s been hiding in
he couldn’t see, society blinded him
laws change, injustice remains
new chapter stuck on the same page
seeking a way to channel this rage

[chorus]
how long does it take to heal
hearts that learn to be broken?
and what are you meant to feel
when pain has gone so long unspoken?
and still some are forced to kneel
though they say that the doors have been opened
so when is redemption real?
freedom only a token
how long does it take to heal?
how long does it take to heal?
how long does it take to heal?
how long does it take to heal?

[verse 3]
her body shaking but she can’t explain
why the feelings have come back again
those hurt before her passed on the pain
a nation’s psyche, a scarred terrain
but she’s learning the language and words to describe
every shade of hurt that’s inside
when flashbacks come she holds on to a pen
and lives again
[chorus]
how long does it take to heal
wounds that lie under the surface?
can you change a heart of steel?
scars distorting your purpose
and feel what we’re meant to feel
knowing inside what our worth is
acknowledge the past is real
hearing the words of the wordless
how long does it take to heal?
how long does it take to heal?
how long does it take to heal?
how long does it take to heal?

[bridge]
make us as waves of one sea
makes us as leaves of one tree
let all the nations agree
set our humanity free
make us as waves of one sea
makes us as leaves of one tree
let all the races agree
set our humanity free

[outro]
how long does it take to heal?
how long does it take?
