Song lyrics and recovery

[lulu70]

I'm not sure this is the best place for this thread, but here goes:

Has anyone else had the experience of relating most of the songs you hear to recovery? I wanted to start a thread where we could post these lyrics and what they meant to us. Here's my first one (I know there are many others):

Heaven (Los Lonely Boys)

Heaven
Save me from this prison
Lord help me get away
Cause only you can save me now
From this misery
Cause I’ve been lost in my own place
And I’m getting’ weary
How far is heaven
And I know I need to change
My ways of livin’
How far is heaven, Lord can you tell me
Cause I’ve been locked up way too long
In this crazy world, how far is heaven
I just keep on prayin’ Lord
Just keep on livin’, how far is heaven
Lord can you tell me, how far is heaven
I just got to know how far, how far is heaven
Lord can you tell me
(translated from Spanish)
(You that's in a higher place
Send me down a blessing)
Cause I know there’s a better place
Than this place I’m livin’, how far is heaven
And I just got to have some faith
And just keep on giving, how far is heaven
I just wanna know how far

By Henry, Jojo and Ringo Garza


I just LOVE this song. I liked it when I was still drinking, but it has a totally different meaning to me now. Since I got sober, I am living in that better place!
