I look out the window

With tears in my eyes

Now able to see

The vast blue skies

There was a time

When I couldn’t

There was nothing but black

Every moment spent

Consumed by crack

So many years wasted

But then again, maybe not

For few can say

They’ve been given a shot

At two lives in one body

It`s what I’ve got

If you`re in the dark

Reach out your hand

Open a window

And know that you can

If I can do it

You can too

Come stand beside me

There`s room with this view

You will know FREEDOM

From your ugly past

The JOY is unbelievable

And it will last

Far, far longer

Than any high you’ve been on

It`s called life

Come and live it

It`s where you belong

I hear the birds

I FEEL them too

I am ALIVE

No more code blue.

Come stand beside me

I believe you can

WE have such power

Just reach out your hand.
