Strong Medicine

By your bedside I cried as I wondered
Is there really any hope?
For the suffering, the pain
The condition is the same
It's out of my control
But I'll be here
Hoping for you
I care enough to stay
Faithful everyday
Bold enough to say, "Don't be afraid!"

'Cause I believe a price was paid
And there is a medicine
(There is a medicine)
A "priceless for the worthless" trade
Trade for the medicine
Nothing is stronger, no greater the need
The only way to take this sickness away
(Take this sickness away)
'Cause I can't take it away

And I'm forced here to stare on the outside
Where nothin' ever seems to change
No miracle, no remedy, not anything
And time becomes a ball and chain
But on the inside
(On the inside)
Things can happen
(Things can happen)
In a war, we'll never see
There'll come a victory
And you can say to me, "Don't be afraid!"

'Cause I believe a price was paid
There is a medicine
(There is a medicine)
A priceless, for the worthless trade
Trade for the medicine
Nothing is stronger, no greater the need
Lord, You've gotta take this sickness away
(Take this sickness away)
'Cause I can't take it away
Oh!

I believe a price was paid
There is a medicine
(There is a medicine)
A priceless, for the worthless trade
Trade for the medicine
(Trade for the medicine)
Nothing is stronger, no greater the need
And Lord, You've gotta take this sickness away
(Take this sickness
Oh, I believe a price was paid)
I believe!
(There is a medicine)
A priceless, for the worthless trade
Trade for the medicine
(Oh, I believe a price was paid)
Oh, I believe! Oh, I, I believe in the medicine!
(There is a medicine
A priceless, for the worthless trade)
Priceless for the worthless!
(Oh, I believe a price was paid)
Was the trade for the medicine!
(There is a medicine
A priceless, for the worthless trade)
