Good things come to those who wait
But I'm not sure that's true
I'm always gonna give my all
with the things that I must do
My eyes are finally open now
And I can hear the birds
A tongue that's tied in 20 knots
It's hard to find the words
Even if I found the words
Would someone want to listen
I'm learning how to live again
But still there's something missing
A shooting star that's in the sky
I close my eyes
And now I'm wishing
Everyday for me is a challenge
I go against the grain
The voices tell me to use again
The problem is my brain
Addiction is a brain disease
It effects the way I think
Telling me that I can have a beer
When I know I shouldn't drink
Proving them statistics wrong
I hope you're tickled pink
I'm staying in recovery
My cravings start to shrink
I love that I can feel again
Even when I'm sad
Recovery is giving me
A life I never had
But in order to keep it
I have to give it away
I walk it like I talk it man
I practice everyday
