This is farewell, adios, and goodbye-
You will not interfere with my life anymore, no matter how hard you try. 

You've warped my mind and let me hurt those that I love-
I'll beat and overcome you with help from heaven above.

I'm better than you and in recovery I will succeed-
With meetings and Sacred Heart, I will gain the skills that I need.

I'm choosing a new path and this one is full of light-
Not full of darkness, loneliness, and fright.

So good-bye addiction, you menacing disease-
You're not holding me back anymore, I'm setting myself free.

Bright starlit eyes
Staring into the distance
Wind blowing her hair
She's awaiting, dreaming of her existence

Take me away
To my own natural high
Leaving this reckless life-
and sincerely saying goodbye

Blowing out memories of evil
Breathing in thoughts of hope
Trying to fight off a disease
No longer craving dirty dope

A little girl screaming inside
Scared and lost from addiction
Praying to a higher power
Waiting for her next conviction

Developing a desire for adventure
All these thoughts in her mind racing
She surrenders-
and recovery she's now chasing
