Recovery

Crystal raindrops form dew on the grassy area nearby
Dancing above the ground the lightning bugs fly
Everything is peaceful with stars filling the night sky
Feel the breeze blowing softly from the angels as they sigh
Granting us a lovely night that no one can deny
He is watching over us, his beauty is in good supply

Can’t you feel the power, as you gaze upon His face
Destiny is calling back the things that have been misplaced
Even reaching out to the lost who have wandered way off base
Fixing what was broken, gently giving back His grace
Guiding home the chosen, letting his steps be retraced
He is watching over us, gathering together the human race

Can you help him; help yourself, by trying just a bit more
Developing good habits, picking yourself up from the floor
Embrace his guidance, stop being a prisoner of this war
Fly lower under the radar, quit trying to slip out the back door
Gather your strength all around you, so you may be restored
He is watching over us, how often though do we choose to ignore

Cocaine and meth, marijuana, LSD and heroin make you fly
Death on a drug, or in a daze, matters not to those who die
Evidence shows, those left behind often don't want to say goodbye
Fighting our feelings, we don't know whether to laugh or to cry
Grieving we do, but how do we stop the problem that underlies
He is watching over us, maybe this time.. in HIM I shall rely
