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!
