 The Serenity Prayer

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.

Darkness clouds my very soul, in a life of total dispair,

No one can understand my pain, the drugs have taken me there,

A feeling of never being loved, is all that I can feel,

My addiction had taken hold of me, an illusion, nothing is real.

 

So many try to lead the way, so many hold out their hand,

I turn away from all of them, they do not understand,

I try so hard to fight the battle, but the war seems lost from the start,

My mind is trying to find the strength ,from the knowing within my heart. 

 

So tired of facing each new day, praying that hope will find,

Its way to win this ragin war and ease this troubled mind,

A leap of faith is all it takes, for me to finally  decide,

The time has to come  for me to see, it's  the drugs that have always lied.

 

I guess the lord has seen it all and saved me from my ways, 

In a paceful sleep I go to him, to hear the words he says,

"You never really understood the love for you was  there,

We carried you through your darkest hour, to a love beyond compare.

 

So rest with me a little while, for now the love you know,

Was always there in every heart that had to let you go,

All doubt and fear that stole your soul,  the lies you chose to believe,

Were just an illussion, a fantasy as the drugs brought you to your knees.

 

I waited till you found your way and had won the bitter fight,

You lay there sleeping peacefully when I called you home that night,

Now the work I give to you, is make those hearts believe,

The world is just a stepping stone on their journey home to me.

 

A legacy you leave behind, now your memory leads the way,

For you carried the cross I gave to you, in all the mistakes  you made.

Help them now to understand the freedom  is theirs to find,

Tis the drugs that mask the reality, in the  corners of their mind.

 

Now you understand it all, your journey is complete,

With a knowing you were loved on earth, as you sit here at my feet,

You see you mothers broken heart, your families tears and pain,

Now they must be as strong as you, your  life was not in vain.
