Drugs & Alcohol

I hear you are so high you're crawling on the floor Family dreads there may be an unwelcome knock at the door The phone call late at night filling our hearts with fear Answering you brace yourself for what you might hear Long ago addiction born of ignorance to what drugs could do If those doctors knew what there drugs have done to you Now prescription drugs are not enough to keep you high Alcohol added to the mix and your family's told not to pry So we pray each day you will have the strength to stop Our hearts aces for all you've lost to the local pawnshop We pray you understand your family loves you dearly Praying the time will come you will see more clearly We cannot bear to see this happen, as we love you so Precious one we pray for strength you will come to know We all hope and pray the day comes you will gain control Before you no longer wake and death has taken it's toll
