lyrics

Doctor can you tell me what is wrong with me
Cos I'm troubled with a sickness
But its nothing you can see
And I'm crawling through life on my hands and knees;
Have you got a cure for this wasting disease?
Well I'm supposed to be the doctor but I can't heal myself
cos I'm troubled with this sickness
Like everybody else
And it's a terminal illness that won't give you peace.
Sin is the name of this wasting disease.
You've got a sick heart and a sick mind;
The ears of the deaf and the eyes of the blind,
But if you seek hard you will find
The Name of the Doctor who gives you new Life.
Well things were getting desperate now ‘cos I was feeling worse,
And if the doctor can't help you then you're ready for the hearse,
But out stepped this man with a Bible in his hand
And a voice of compassion said "I understand
You need a new heart and a new mind
The god of this world has been making you blind
But when you seek hard, you will find
The Name of the Doctor who gives you new Life."
He looked me in the eye and said "I'll give it to you straight,
If you want to live forever then we'll have to operate,
You old heart is stony, deceitful and mean,
this new one is tender, obedient and clean."
Well He performed the operation with confidence and skill,
He said that I had died and that there wouldn't be a bill,
and when I awoke I was a brand new man,
I heard my Physician say "Do you understand..
You've got a new heart and a new mind,
If you only believe you'll be doing just fine
And when you seek hard you will find
The Name of the Doctor's the Author of Life."
