The Glass Poets - lyricists / song writers We, The Glass Poets Lyricists Team are, Douglas W. White (owner/founder/lyricist/rhythm guitar) of California, Barbara Adkins (lyricist)of Florida and Michael A. Bradshaw (co - founder/lyricist,vocals,piano,drums,lead) of Alabama. Our unique story is WE HAVE NEVER MET IN PERSON. All of our material is written via emails, phone conversations. Once a solid lyrics structure is agreed upon, as all 3 of us are musicians, one of us will lay down an original acoustic guitar/piano track. We do not consider ourselves as a band but instead STORYTELLERS. Once all of the tracks are recorded Douglas and Micheal then engineer them into song format the best they can. Due to the economy and also the geographic distance between us we cannot afford studio time so we use home recording programs such as Tascam, Mixcraft, Majixs and Adobe to self produce our material.

Story behind the song
Douglas and a friends true life battle with addiction and their victory over the addictions
Lyrics
From his bed he opened his eyes slowly Withered down from half the man he used to be Full of guilt and hate, tears flowed down his face Realized then he would have to change his ways An average hard working man in life Needing a second chance to make things right Twenty years with the bottle had blurred his sight The price was great his kids and a wife Chorus: Some people assume that everything in life is great But as the waters of life rise, we know the dam can break So be sure and heed in all of the decisions that we need And dont take this life for granted, because our hearts will bleed I saw this man last Saturday In his second year of sobriety Hand and hand with his children down the street Both his feet back in the door of reality I spoke with him for a short time He said he has made ammends, his life is fine A smile bright and clear across his face He has found his path, his righteous way Chorus: The Glass Poets Douglas W. White Michael A. Bradshaw Barbara Adkins copyright(c)theglasspoetsDWWMABBA2009
