Sometimes I feel like drinking hemlock
Sometimes I feel like being nailed to a tree
Sometimes I feel like cutting off my other ear
Other times I just feel like me
Other times I only feel like me

Lay your hands on me
Lay your hands on me
With a touch you will be healed
And all truth will be revealed
If you only lay your hands on me
If you only lay your hands on me

Sometimes I feel like being shot at
Sometimes I feel like speaking on the White House lawn
Sometimes I feel I’ve washed my hands of you
Other times I just feel like me
Other times I only feel like me

Lay your hands on me
Lay your hands on me
And you will be healed
And all truth will be revealed
If you only lay your hands on me
If you only lay your hands on me

{Cut speed in half, change to “Motherless Child”.}

Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
A long, long way, from home

{Back to main song}

Lay your hands on me
Lay your hands on me
I believe that you can save me
From my foolish little Self
If you’d please, just lay your hands on me
If you’d only lay your hands on me!

{Repeat}
