Folded hands and shaky breath, one year chip clutched tight Stepping through those creaky doors, into the healing light Used to be a face they knew, another lost soul's plea But tonight I raise my voice, a different melody (Chorus) Goodbye, amber glow of beer, the sting of wine's embrace Gin's forgotten whispers, vodka's cold, familiar space No more drunken goodbyes, no mornings filled with shame This year I found my sunrise, a brand new sober game (Verse 2) Mirrors used to hold a stranger, blurry eyes and hollow stare Now a flicker of recognition, a strength I can declare The voices used to tempt me, promises whispered low But the silence holds a promise, a future I can grow (Chorus) Goodbye, amber glow of beer, the sting of wine's embrace Gin's forgotten whispers, vodka's cold, familiar space No more drunken goodbyes, no mornings filled with shame This year I found my sunrise, a brand new sober game (Bridge) One day at a time, they say, a simple mantra strong The path ahead is open, where I used to feel so wrong There'll be stumbles, there'll be doubts, that's the nature of the fight But I won't pick up that bottle, I'll hold onto the light (Chorus) Goodbye, amber glow of beer, the sting of wine's embrace Gin's forgotten whispers, vodka's cold, familiar space No more drunken goodbyes, no mornings filled with shame This year I found my sunrise, a brand new sober game (Outro) One year down, forever to go, a journey I embrace With a grateful heart and steady hand, I walk towards a brighter space
