Verse 1:
These chains of addiction, they started so young,
Chasing a dream that I never had sung.
Every promise I made was a whisper in vain,
With each broken heart, I just felt the pain.

Chorus:
Oh, I want to break free, to find my way home,
To hold my kids tight, no more feeling alone.
With the love of my family, I fight through the night,
Hoping for daylight, to make it all right.

Verse 2:
I see their smiles, like a beacon of hope,
Climbing this mountain, learning to cope.
Yet the shadows linger, they call out my name,
Just one little slip, and I’m swallowed by shame.

Chorus:
Oh, I want to break free, to find my way home,
To hold my kids tight, no more feeling alone.
With the love of my family, I fight through the night,
Hoping for daylight, to make it all right.

Bridge:
But I stumble and fall, like I’m lost in the fight,
Searching for answers, in the dark of the night.
It’s the laughter of children that pulls me back in,
Reminds me it’s worth it, this battle to win.

Chorus:
Oh, I want to break free, to find my way home,
To hold my kids tight, no more feeling alone.
With the love of my family, I fight through the night,
Hoping for daylight, to make it all right.

Outro:
Every step is a journey, I won't walk alone,
With the warmth of their love, I’ll find my way home.
This struggle is real, but love will prevail,
Together we’re stronger, together we sail.
