Twelve Steps to Freedom

I was a ship lost on a stormy sea Caught in the chaos No anchor for me My hands were trembling My heart weighed down 'Til I saw the light and turned around I let go of my pride I faced my pain Admitted the chaos The unmanageable reign Believed in a power that could make me whole Turned my life to God and searched my soul The truth is heavy but I let it fall Confessed my wrongs to the mirror, to God, to all With every tear I found something new The strength to heal and start breaking through I laid down my burdens My faults, my shame Humbly asked for a cleansing flame Made a list of the hearts I'd betrayed With a will to rebuild what the damage had made The hardest step was to face the hurt To own the scars I'd pressed into the dirt But as I made amends I felt the weight lift Each apology, a precious gift I mended the bridges I thought were burned With a heart renewed And lessons learned Each step I take now A life redeemed Walking with faith in a sober dream The road is narrow But the way is clear With every step I find hope near A spiritual awakening A fire inside To carry this light To be a guide Now I walk with grace I stand in truth Living each day as living proof A message of hope for those in despair You're never alone; we're always there Twelve steps to freedom A path of grace A journey of healing A sacred space Through darkness to light Through chaos to peace This is the power of release
