DOING THE DO
I came in beaten up, broken down all the way
Tricked by my addiction-it led me astray.
Trusted by noone, not even myself
No place to go, this is all I have left.
It seemed so long ago when I was footloose and free
doing the drugs instead of them doing me.
Was in control of the game with all of the good luck
until it went bad and now I'm corrupt.
Just don't understand how it happened so fast-
good times all gone, now I live in the past.
Heard about some people who were just like me.
Only difference now- they're happy, joyous, and free.
I made it to the room, I found me a chair
no questions were asked, like what are you doing there?
In all of my darkness so lonely could it be
a ray of hope moving toward me.
One day at a time I kept coming back.
Admitted I was powerless, my addictions under attack.
I found a mighty power, I'm no longer insane.
Turn it over to God-so simple, so plain.
Search my heart like never before
dumped all of the garbage, don't want it no more.
To those I had harmed I made humble amends.
I have God in my life and lots of new friends.
I found a new freedom, what else can I say?
I can only keep what I have by giving it away!
