Road to Recovery

Lost in this world,
You gave us a scare
Why’d you have to try that?
Please, tell me why.

What have you been through?
What horrors have you seen?
I’m here for you to talk to,
I’ll listen to your story

It may seem like no one’s there,
We all have those moments
Things will get better,
Of this, I’m sure.

A long road to recovery,
With many twists along the way.
It’s one we must all travel
At one time or another

You gave us a scare,
Straight down to our core
We thought we had lost you,
Tears, this thought brings more.

We’re here for you tonight,
Talk about your problems
It might be hard at first,
But oh, so relieving in the end.

Many have been down this well-traveled road
A one-way street to a town of despair
Only one time is there a chance for a U-turn
You’ve been given that chance

This chance, not many get
This chance, it’s a sign from God
Your time was not this night,
Your purpose, not yet served

Lost in this world,
You gave us a scare
Tell us your story,
We’ll all be listening
