When I Was A Child
When I was a child
I dreamed I could be-
A pilot
A doctor
Or a star on T.V.
When I grew up
I never dreamed I would be...
A junkie
A convict
Or a bum on the street.
One things for certain
I love to get high
And because of this love
My dreams had to die.
No innocent child
Hopes that one day
That their life is ruined
...And wasted away.
So why did I make
The choices I made?
Because addiction...
Is one hell of a thing!
Destroying you first
Inside then out
Before you learn
What it's all about.
So heed my words
This warning I write
And don't let your dreams wither and die.
