[Verse 1] The healed one met the priest beyond the border of the tents, Two birds, cedar, scarlet, hyssop marked the road of cleansing. One bird died above the water, one was dipped and then released, And seven drops announced a life returning toward the peace. [Pre-Chorus] Washed and shaved, he waited seven days, Then brought the gifts appointed for the eighth. [Chorus] Outside the camp, brought back in, Cleansed from the mark that separated skin. Blood on ear and thumb and toe, oil upon the same, The one who stood afar could join the people once again. [Verse 2] Even houses could be emptied, stones removed and walls scraped bare, If the plague returned, the building left the city piece by piece. But a healed house knew the birds and running water too, For dwelling, cloth, and body all were judged by what was true. [Bridge] Issues made the bed and seat unclean until the days were done, Water, waiting, birds, and prayer restored the healed one. The purpose held the tabernacle from defilement in the camp, And made a path from isolation back beneath the covenant. [Final Chorus] Outside the camp, brought back in, Cleansed from the mark that separated skin. Blood and oil, washing and time, mercy within the law, The one who stood afar could stand among the people once more. [Outro] Separation had a boundary, And restoration had a door.
