Since this is my first bard, I could be mistaken. It could also be a pet bug, I dunno. However..

[Songs help] songs of healing
Syntax: sing '<healing lyric>'
The melody of healing allows the bard to heal himself [b]and his group.[/b] While 
no match for the speed of a priest's healing spells, singing a healing 
melody is significantly faster than resting.  If dancing, the bard's song 
will also cause his groups's mana and movement to be refreshed, although 
this will not help the bard himself.
Some of the more common sets of lyrics for songs of healing include:
We Have Need, River, O River, Truest Wealth, Flesh And Bone, All Yon Childe
