We Do Recover
Once when darkness seemed the only escape
I felt right at home
Because I succumbed to the reality of the drug
I felt right at home
Although it became the norm deep down inside I knew it was wrong
I felt right at home
I embraced the sensation because it was so elusive
I felt right at home
Unequivocally I could not differentiate the true from the false
I felt right at home
Daddy why I have asked God from time to time because I did not feel right at home any longer
I was fed up with living a lie so to the drug I said Good Bye
No longer burning meaningful bridges
No longer being talked down from the cliff
No longer riding on a merry-go-round of confusion
I can see the light at the end of the tunnel
Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 I am finally free
Lifting my eyes raising my hands stomping my feet
I am bruising the devil's head
I scanned the wide open sea
Thought about the past
Elated I screamed
Free at last
Free at last
Thank God Almighty I am free at last!
