House of Hope

We Woke Up In Pedro
HOH House Of Hope
With My Sisters Learning How To Cope
To Get Away From The Dope
Were All Beauties When Were Sober Though
This Is How Our Story Goes
House Of Hope
15 Girls Running The Streets
Giving Up Bieng Alckys and Dope Phiens
Most Of Us Started Out As Teens
Lost Our Ambitions and Dreams
To A Disease That Made Us Forget Our Personalities
That Wants To Kill Us Inside
When All We Want To Do Is Survive
Just Stay Alive, Live That Sober Life
Reconnect With The Man Up High
The Kids and Family We Left Behind
Tired Of Bieng Selfish, The Fake Cries and Lies , Just Blind In The Eyes Everyday That Passed By
Did Whatever We Could To Get Our Next White Line, A Drink , Or The Heroin That Made Us Sleepy and Weak
Fighting To Stay Clean
Fighting Reality
Fighting Off The Bad Energy Interfearing With Our Sobriety
Away From The High That Brought Us To Our Knees
Heres Our Chance At Recovery

We Woke Up In Pedro
HOH House Of Hope
With My Sisters Learning How To Cope
To Get Away From The Dope
Were All Beauties When Were Sober Though
This Is How Our Routine Goes

Waking Up At 6
Coffee Is Our New Fix
Jr Res Screaming Chores Bell Ringing
Working As A Team We Cleaning
After Is Our Walk Or Monday Meeting
Trash Out Chore Check While We Reading
Senior and Junior Giving Us Corrections and 5 Star Perfections
Dismissed Got An Hour To Look Beautified
Be Ready By Nine
We All Feeling Fine
Gotta Start Our Days Right
Sitting In Four Groups Sharing Our Feelings
Opening Up and Crying
Cant Leave Out Dancing, Dreaming, Appearence, and knitting, Handwriting, Parenting, Yoga, Lunch and Dinner We Eating Seven Oclock Meetings
Free Time Sitting In The Pit Chain Smoking Our Brains Out,
At Nine Goes Off The Hell Bell and Staff Shout "Meds" Most Of Us Taking Them To Go To Bed
The Night Ends and Starts All Over Again ..

Woke Up In Pedro
HoH House Of Hope
With My Sisters Learning How To Cope
To Get Away From The Dope
Were All Beauties When Were Sober Though
That's The Way The House Flowed .
