From his bed he opened his eyes slowly
Withered down from half the man he used to be
Full of guilt and hate, tears flowed down his face
Realized then he would have to change his ways
An average hard working man in life
Needing a second chance to make things right
Twenty years with the bottle had blurred his sight
The price was great his kids and a wife
Chorus:
Some people assume that everything in life is great
But as the waters of life rise, we know the dam can break
So be sure and heed in all of the decisions that we need
And dont take this life for granted, because our hearts will bleed
I saw this man last Saturday
In his second year of sobriety
Hand and hand with his children down the street
Both his feet back in the door of reality
I spoke with him for a short time
He said he has made ammends, his life is fine
A smile bright and clear across his face
He has found his path, his righteous way
Chorus:
Lead out:
