Okay back to the kitchen table
In other words square one
To show I'm willing and able to work
Step one
I was born ready
Just reluctant to get it done
Now my loads heavy
Unpacking baggage one by one
Didn't become this way overnight
So easy does it
It works if you work it right
I don't know does it
It was worse when we used all night
I don't know was it
Then my life was a circle
And now it's unpredictable
Although it was more hurtful
I knew where it was gonna go
I felt pain that I never had to feel before
And my mother is getting old so
I'm a have to feel some more
Without this program
I wouldn't even deal no more
But thanks to it
I'm prepared for what
Life has in store
I was afraid to reach out
Or even open my mouth
Til an old timer caught me crying
Told me let it out
That's why I
Place principles before personalities
So if need anything
You can ask me
And this applies to you if you singing along
Open your arms
This the newcomers song
Pain shared is pain lessened so
Tell us how you feel
It's time to take off the mask for real
And get real
You don't ever have to use to cover the way you feel
There's 12 steps
That can help you to heal
When the pain of remaining the same is greater than changing
Something is gonna change and it'll never be the same again
One foot in front of the other just tryna make it
More will be revealed like a stripper getting naked
I know at times you feel like what's the meaning
But newcomers are the most important one in the meeting
And if you don't believe then believe I do for you
Act as if you did and things will happen for you
We get what we put into this
Every day
And we keep what we have by giving it away
Get a sponsor because that's where it's at
And no matter what happens keep coming back
We came to believe a power greater than ourselves
Could restore us to sanity and relieve us from this hell
It's a sick sick cycle
It's time that you broke it
And I'll be here with
Arms wide open
That's why I
Place principles before personalities
So if need anything
You can ask me
And this applies to you if you singing along
Open your arms
This the newcomers song
Pain shared is pain lessened so
Tell us how you feel
It's time to take off the mask for real
And get real
You don't ever have to use to cover the way you feel
There's 12 steps
That can help you to heal
Fan that flame of desire
Don't let it bug you
And if no one's told you today
I love you
This is a we program
I can't but we can
Make it through it clean again
There's only one thing in all this required from us
And that's that desire to stop using drugs
One is too many
A thousand never enough
And don't even think about it
Alcohol is a drug
Soon as you think you got it
You're gonna get it
State your name
You're an addict
Never forget it
Ain't no shame in the game
And nobody can complain
When you get us all together
And you see us do our thang
We do recover
When at the end of the road
We find we ain't got nowhere else to go
Carrying the message to addicts that still suffer
It's a God thing
When we help each other
That's why I
Place principles before personalities
So if need anything
You can ask me
And this applies to you if you singing along
Open your arms
This the newcomers song
Pain shared is pain lessened so
Tell us how you feel
It's time to take off the mask for real
And get real
You don't ever have to use to cover the way you feel
There's 12 steps
That can help you to heal
Keep coming back
No matter what you do
Dont use come back
Keep coming back
And even if you used man
Keep coming back
Uh uh
Keep coming back
No matter what you do
Dont use come back
Keep coming back
And even if you used man
Keep coming back
