This song was written 20 years ago. With my experience
in the 12 step program I took it and changed about 10 words to make it about fighting addiction. In truth it has been BORN AGAIN to help people find truth. The disease of addiction tells us we have to do it alone. THATS A LIE!
LOOK TO GOD FOR HELP. THAT WORKS. I KNOW!!!

MANY A NIGHT I SAT AND WONDERD
WHERE MY SOUL HAD LED ME
I'VE WALKED UPON THE BEATEN PATH
THAT SO MANY A SANE MAN DID LIE
ANOTHER TIME ANOTHER PLACE
WHY DO I FEEL SO ALONE
WILL YOU JUST EXCUSE ME
I'LL MAKE IT ON MY OWN

CAN'T YOU FEEL THE DISEASE
OR AM I FIGHTING ALONE
ROCKING INTO THE DARK TIME
ROLLING ON MY OWN

I'VE CURSED AND CRIED HIS NAME IN VAIN
AS PEOPLE STOOD AND STARED
CONFRONTED WITH MY WILL TO SUCCEED
AND THE FAITH THAT WAS SOON TO EVOLVE
HOW CAN YOU EXPECT ME TO LISTEN TO A
WORLD THAT WAS SURE TO DIE
ALL THE WORLD JUST STOOD AND STARED
AS THEY SAID THE BOYS GONE MAD

I STAND BEFORE YOU ONE AND ALL
AND I ASK ARE YOU ONE IN THE SAME
ANOTHER TIME ANOTHER PLACE
I KNOW I DON'T SEE THIS ALONE
CLONE IF YOU WILL TO MORTAL MAN AND
FOLLOW HIM STRAIGHT DOWN THE LINE
ME I'LL BE LIGHTING UP THE SKY
AS I ROCK DOWN WITH HEAVEN TONIGHT
