The Heart of our recovery

Lyrics

Looking forward ’til 9 AM when you walk in the door, Because with you here, we ain’t starving—just another reminder sobriety’s worth it. Who would ever know that an old cigarette smoking wise cracking gal Would be able to touch our souls the way you do. You may have never been an addict but your hard story rings true And connects to everyone of the broken wore out souls that come through the door. Like every body needs a heart and every family needs a mother, The recovery of revelations family we need YOU to survive! On your days off the techs starve us to death And we can’t wait to see your beautiful face come walking back through the door!! We are going to do all we can to show you all your time and effort You’ve invested into everyone that’s come and gone was worth all YOUR time YOU’VE given us!! You walk in with that cigarette burning low And that wise crack ready to go You don’t need no past in the struggle to know the chain we wear— Just you set the plate down and say “You good?” No fuss, no fan—just you standing there With the coffee pot and that “I’ve been there” air And when you laugh at the ashes in your cup We feel the chain ain’t quite so heavy when we’re sharing smoke. Like every body needs a heart and every family needs a mother, The recovery of revelations family we need YOU to survive! On your days off the techs starve us to death And we can’t wait to see your beautiful face come walking back through the door!! We are going to do all we can to show you all your time and effort You’ve invested into everyone that’s come and gone was worth all YOUR time YOU’VE given us!! So we’ll save you the best bite of every meal Just to see you put down the spoon and really hear us speak You don’t fix the pain—but you sit with it, quiet and deep And suddenly the room ain’t so wide when we’re not alone in keeping. Worth all YOUR time YOU’VE given us… Worth all YOUR time YOU’VE given us… We see you, Kathy. We see YOU. (Not just the cook… the reason we believe we can.)
