Do you ever feel that
Everything you’ve done is wrong?
If life’s a path, you’re heading in the wrong direction
And the days stretch for far too long?
Do you ever feel that
You’ve given up all hope?
You just want the world to stop, right here and now
Because you cannot cope?
But if there’s still a spark left in you
However deep it’s buried below.
Drop the bottle, needle, razor blade,
Just pick up the phone*
Do you ever feel that
Today will be the best day you’ve had in a while?
Relax, breathe, enjoy your special day
All you have to do is smile :)
Do you ever feel that
You walk this life on your own?
There’s always a friend beside you.
You are not alone.
So if there’s a spark left in you
Even if all you feel is pain.
Drop the can, pill, blade in your sweaty palm,
Take control of your life again!
Do you ever feel that
You’ll be granted redemption?
That you’ll be given a second chance
To make your life perfection?
Do you ever feel that
Everything’s gonna be alright?
You’ve changed, grown up, made the right choices,
You finally saw the light.
Alcohol. Drugs. That shiny blade
That used to govern your life.
You put away the bottles, stopped buying the pills
And threw away the knife.
You can do it, I believe in you
I’m with you all the way.
There always is a second chance
For you to seize the day!
