We're losing a whole generation
And we sit and just watch it happen
Everyone has an opinions but few take action.
How the fuck did this even happen
Parents blame themselves but that's just not the case
We swore it wouldn't happen to us we just wanted a taste
So much pent up trauma we just needed to escape
The pain became so much we just couldn't face
The pain and it seemed like the rain just wouldn't go away
A little black cloud that followed me
So much depression it swallowed thee
I just needed a light of hope
Maybe someone to throw down the rope
And help me climb out of this hole
But the dope just wouldn't let go
And there was no hope
And at that point I couldn't say no
I couldn't let go
Be the light in someones day
Be the light before they get taken away
You can help someone change their ways
All you gotta do is take the wheel and lead the way
Lead by example and practice what you say
And there was no hope
And at that point I couldn't say no
Did you hear what I just wrote?
And there was no hope
And at that point I couldn't say no
But fuck this I gotta let it go
There's always some hope
I just gotta dig deep and grow
Be the light in someones day
Be the light before they get taken away
You can help someone change their ways
All you gotta do is take the wheel and lead the way
Lead by example and practice what you say
I finally put down the dope
And deep in my bones I could feel the hope
I don't know how I'ma grow
But I could feel I started to glow
For the first time in a long time I said no to dope
Let me reflect on that for a moment
Cause this is crazy
I never thought I'd be sober for a second
Now months and years have passed
I've done it one day at a time
But I can't lie I didn't think I'd last
I look back and I am no longer ashamed of my past
Now all I see is a bright forecast
Be the light in someones day
Be the light before they get taken away
You can help someone change their ways
All you gotta do is take the wheel and lead the way
Lead by example and practice what you say
Be the light in someones day
Be the light before they get taken away
You can help someone change their ways
All you gotta do is take the wheel and lead the way
Lead by example and practice what you say
