Pullled out of darkness
Reaching for the light
I finally will change my life
So I can shine so bright

I hit my lowest point
On a overdose of drugs
Im tired of just exsisting
I need to feel the love

I never wanted to be like this
But I made some stupid mistakes
Its not to late to change my life
I need it for my own sake

I see how much im cared for
And how worried about I am
I now I see the truth
About how drugs are such a scam
