Life Through the Eyes of An Addict

Life, is it really worth living for ? I did not know until God opened the door And there he was in the shape of a big, bright, spiritual light, He said, Son, believeth in me and everything shall be alright So every morning I get down on my knees and pray: God, please let me have another clean and sober day ! Though I often have thoughts of suicide And tell the Lord: oh, how hard I've tried Then I asked him for a way out of this bind; With a silent voice, he answered: my son, one day at a time Before I called upon him I had one foot in the grave; but like he told me, believeth in him an thou shalt be saved When my mind and nerves become idle, I become secluded and read the bible So now I am saved and will always wear his sign And will never forget the blessing he placed in mind ! Now that I've found myself and my goal With dignity and pride I can shout out, no ! No one wants to be a drug or suicidal fanatic; So remember, that's life through the eyes of an addict !
