Recovery Love and Harmony…
AS I SIT BESIDE THE FIRE AND DREAM,
OF TIMES GONE BY AND THINGS NEVER SEEN
I WONDER OF LOVES LOST AND HOPES UNMET,
OF DAYS PASSED AND DATES UNKEPT
MY MIND ALONE, MY SPIRIT WEAK
MY SOUL FILLED WITH SHAME
TEARS FLOW IN SORROW
I DON’T WANT TO SEE TOMORROW
THE DREAMS I LOVED HAVE BEEN AND GONE
NEVER NO MORE TO LOOK UPON
DREAMING A VOICE INSIDE MY HEAD
TELLS ME TO THINK
MAYBE TODAY I SHOULDN’T USE OR DRINK
REMINDING ME OF THOSE WHO LOVE ME STILL
AND MAYBE OF THOSE THAT ALWAYS WILL
THAT I WANTED TO LIVE NOT BE DEAD
FOR REASONS KNOWN ONLY TO ME,
I DECIDE TO LET THE BOTTLE, AND DRUGS BE
TO SEE THE WORLD AS IT IS MEANT TO BE SEEN
WITHOUT THE HAZE OF DRUGS OR ALCOHOL AS A SCREEN
THE BEAUTY, THE WARMTH, THE SORROW THE PAIN.
SOULS LIVING IN HARMONY WITH NO SHAME
PEOPLE LAUGHING, AND JOKING ABOUT HAVING FUN
THE WARMTH OF THE SUN
SWEET SMELL OF THE EARTH AFTER A RAIN
A SLIGHT BREEZE IN THE AFTERNOON
PLEASURE IN WATCHING BIRDS PLAY
THE SUN FINALLY BEGAN TO FADE
DIAMONDS IN THE SKY SURROUNDING THE MOON
I KNEW I HAD TO BE SAVED SOON
I STOPPED OVERWHELMED KNELT AND PRAYED
HUMBLED AT HOW FAR DOWN I HAD FELL
LORD PLEASE MAKE ME WHOLE TODAY
TAKE AWAY THE TRIGGERS AND THE FEIGN
GIVE ME THE COURAGE TO FACE EACH DAY
SHOW ME HOW TO LIVE SOBER, CLEAN
NOW I PRAY FOR GUIDANCE ON THE MORN OF EACH NEW DAY
AND THANKS I PRAY AT THE END OF A CLEAN EVERY DAY.
AS I NOW HAVE COME TO BELIEVE
OF THAT WHICH BEFORE I COULD NOT CONCEIVE
A NEW LIFE I HAVE COME TO SEE
A NEW CHANCE TO FINALLY BE
HAPPY, DRUG FREE FINALLY ABLE TO FACE LIFE
AND WORK THROUGH ANY STRIFE.
LOOK AROUND YOU, AND YOU TOO WILL SEE,
THE TOTAL LOVE AND HARMONY.
