I wonder when time will stop
My life is so on fire
The drug abuse has shrunken my cheeks
The alcohol abuse has made me gain so much weight
I want to crawl in a hole I may never get out
I see this girl she is so pretty to me
Will she ever help me
Day in, Day out I see her walk down the street
She looks at me like scum
Yes I am a bum
My life is on fire and I need help
I have walked this life for 15 years
I have talked this life for 15 years
When does it end
WIll it ever mend
I need another buck
I feel so down on my luck
Today she is gonna stop and stare
She kneels next to me and I am lost inside
She asks if she knew me
I bow my head and hope she does not see
Yes it is me
A tear falls down her face
I look into her eyes
With surprise
She says daddy?
I look at her and start to cry
The last time she saw me was when her mama died
She grabs my neck and holds it tight
She tells me everything will be alright
My insides start to crumble
I never knew I would stumble
She said daddy you were so strong
I said no inside you and your mama made me strong
Without you my life was on fire
Now I am stuck in drug and alcohol abuse
I want to thank you for the rescue
