See all the people who knew him well
One day he returned from the city of lights
Faith healing man was not the same
From his healing hands the light shone all about
And you know the blind child? Now he can see
To the city he soon came
But know you have to pay hear him talk
Soon the whole nation knew his name
On the street they milled outside
Said he'd make this faith healing country boy into a movie star
Outside his door where queues ten deep
You know something had happened there, his powers had died
One day a man with a big cigar
His eyes stared at you, no sound was heard
To be cured, well, half went up with those big city lights
People came from north and south
He looked up in lights, saw his name
He made a deal, said thin boy would go far
Drove into town in a long, long silver car
But know he says he won't cure no more
Is it to late? You know why I've come?
Cured the young and cured the old
Seventh son of a seventh son
Seventh son of a seventh son
Is it to late? You know why I've come?
Seventh son of a seventh son
He moved away from this small town
To see this faith healing man, see what he was all about
He had the power there is no doubt
Soon this faith healing man could get no sleep
Faith healin' man you have returned
The seventh son of a seventh son
Seventh son of a seventh son
He cured a woman who could not speak
About the time he made the lame boy walk
Is it to late, now that I've come?
Never asked for payment or took anything from them
Soon this man had to spend his days inside
No magic potion or mystic words
As though he was still here, the stories they all tell
