Let's Get Sober
As I come to terms with myself
Through many years of pain
It really sounded like fun at the time
But now it seems Insane
Along with? age comes wisdom
Down to the very core
Though I never believed it
Thought it all folklore
From the school of hard knocks
Dad said I'd never learn
Life was one big party
The end not a concern
But I proved him wrong
In all that he said
I sorted through my problems
By using my head
Now clean and sober
My world no longer grey
I'm trying to help people
Through the things I say
So take this to heart
In the world that is yours
Use your mind in a way
That will open closed doors
