A Second Chance

A Second Chance I started using drugs at an early age Who would have thought it would set the stage For a life of lies, violence, and crime Only to show me it was a waste of time Taking from me all I had While making my family feel so sad Yes there are regrets and resentments since that day Yes there are regrets and resentments since I lost my way I used and used till I felt no more It stole my ambition and slammed the door In my face and made me feel insane Keeping me from wanting to admit my name Because drugs kill and destroy with each sack Take take take and never giving back Yes there are regrets and resentments since that day Yes there are regrets and resentments since I lost my way But today I live in a world of sober and clean Living for God and completely serene Today I want to live rather than just exist Looking at my old life shaking my fist Knowing I’m still just one hit away But choosing a recovery life just for today Yes there were regrets and resentments since that day Yes there were regrets and resentments but I found the Way
