Northstar Road told

“Northstar Recovery Roads” Verse 1 Walked through the doors with my head hanging low Soul full of damage nobody could know Carrying ghosts from the streets and the nights Trying to bury the pain with the highs Cold hallway lights and the silence was loud Felt invisible standing inside of the crowd Everybody hurting but hiding it deep Trying to heal while they fighting for sleep Some pacing circles, some staring at walls Some praying to God not to answer the calls Memories hit like a punch to the ribs Thinking about everything addiction steals I seen tears falling from grown men’s eyes People breaking down while they trying to survive And the truth cuts harder than anything else When you finally admit you can’t save yourself Pre-Chorus But somewhere inside of the wreckage and scars A little bit of hope still burned in the dark Even when my spirit felt shattered apart I kept hearing a voice saying don’t you stop Chorus Northstar, guide me through the storm When my world gets cold, keep my spirit warm Through the fear, through the rain Help me stand when I’m drowning in pain Northstar, don’t let me fade I’m still fighting every choice I made One day at a time, one breath, one prayer Trying to become somebody still there --- Verse 2 Morning meetings, coffee getting cold Stories sounding different but the hurt feels close Everybody got scars they trying to hide Everybody got demons they carry inside Some lost family, some lost years Some still shaking from withdrawal tears Some smiling outside but dying within Trying to learn how to trust again Counselors talking about changing your path While half the room still trapped in the past Some people serious, some people fake Some only talking ‘cause they scared to break You hear coughing down the hallway late People wrestling guilt and bottled-up hate And recovery ain’t some clean TV scene It’s messy and painful and brutally real Verse 3 Late nights sitting there staring at ceilings Trying to understand all these feelings Thinking ‘bout exes and bridges burned Thinking ‘bout every hard lesson learned All the lies that addiction sold Left my spirit empty and cold Had me chasing shadows for temporary peace While my whole life fell apart piece by piece And the hardest part nobody explains Is learning to live when your brain still aches Trying to find joy without getting numb Trying to rebuild what addiction undone Pre-Chorus Still I rise when my legs feel weak Still I fight when the darkness speaks Still I pray though my faith gets thin ‘Cause giving up won’t save me again Chorus Northstar, guide me through the storm When my world gets cold, keep my spirit warm Through the fear, through the rain Help me stand when I’m drowning in pain Northstar, don’t let me fade I’m still fighting every choice I made One day at a time, one breath, one prayer Trying to become somebody still there --- Bridge Some nights recovery feels like war Mind screaming go back for more But deep inside I know the truth That road only steals from you I watched people leave, watched people fall Heard relapse echoes through the halls That fear sits heavy inside your chest Wondering if you’ll survive the test But strength ain’t acting tough all day Strength is choosing not to run away Strength is crying and still standing tall Even after you lost it all Verse 4 Now I walk a little stronger than before Still got pain but I’m healing more Learning peace don’t happen fast Learning you can’t outrun your past But your past don’t own your name And your failures ain’t your chains Every sunrise gives another shot To become everything addiction said you’re not So if you feel broken hearing this song Keep fighting even when the nights feel long Because recovery starts small and slow But every hard step helps your spirit grow Final Chorus Northstar, shine over me tonight Keep me walking toward the light Through the struggle, through the scars Remind me who I really are Northstar, when I lose my way Help me make it one more day And if I fall, I’ll rise once more Stronger than I was before Outro Yeah… One day at a time One fight at a time One prayer at a time Northstar recovery roads… Trying to find our way home.
