My Powerless is a powerful foe, the person I'd become I didn't even know.
And still to this day it's hard to understand, how it turned me into less of a man.
It's the love I gave up, for the love of that drink, that still hurts me deep whenever I think.
About the ones that I've hurt and the trust that I had shattered, just for instant relief
I guess nothing else mattered
It's this unmanageable life that I lived so much, that was only surpassed by the bottle, my crouch.
It hindered me so to the point I was blind, destroying my body and warping my mind.
It was a bottomless pit from no light I could see, it was the darkest trench of my insanity.
But now I must surrender, accept, what I gave away
Still, to get it all back, all the riches I'd pay.
Now, I've been shown a way, that it resides in me
And with help my Higher Power will help me see.
My strength, my courage, who I am meant to be-
Assisted with faith, with love and serenity.
It's a daily reprieve, a new joy to be found
From a simple, little, program that knows no bound.
And with time, dedication and guidance to follow
Hope, again, will fill my heart from what was so hollow.
Like a spirit uprising, a Phoenix reborn.
It's a new New Found Life, no more I'll be torn.
So now I'll accept and prepare my amends.
I'll help someone out.
I'll make some new friends.
It's a gift to myself, one of humility,
A present for life,
One to set me free...
