I once was an addict,
I loved to get high -
Whatever came to me,
I'd give it a try.
It started with cig-rettes,
Next came the booze -
And then marijuana,
I decided to choose.
They say it won't lead you,
To do harder drugs -
But I've been there and seen,
For many it does.
I was soon smokin hash,
Droppin acid and scleen -
T.H.C., shrooms and speed,
With a ton of visine.
Then along came the drug, That became my true love -
Cocaine, rock and powder, I could not get enough.
I once was an addict, I learned the hard way -
Addictive behavior, Will lead you astray.
Lost it all more than once, More than twice, even thrice -
Countless times in the gutter, Before I realized.
I was sick of my life, What the drugs had done -
I tried giving them up, But the drugs always won.
This battle went on, Up and down I would go -
I felt worthless and empty, Filled with sorrow and woe.
Then one night in despair, I looked up to the sky -
and said - "God I need help", Then I started to cry.
I once was an addict,
Praise God - I'm not now -
For He showed me the way,
When I didn't know how...
