Verse 1:
I woke up today, the sun pouring in,
Reflecting on my life, where do I begin?
Twenty-six years, I've seen it all,
With lessons learned, I've answered the call.
Chorus:
26 years sober, and the bottom of the bottle is still dry,
Each year I rise higher, let the past pass by.
No more lost moments to a fleeting high,
I've found my true self, under a vast blue sky.
Verse 2:
Days turn to months, and months into years,
Each struggle I faced, washed away my fears.
With friends who support me, I stand tall and proud,
In the silence of night, my heartbeat is loud.
Chorus:
26 years sober, and the bottom of the bottle is still dry,
Each year I rise higher, let the past pass by.
No more lost moments to a fleeting high,
I've found my true self, under a vast blue sky.
Bridge:
A journey of healing, it's not all in vain,
From ashes I’ve risen, I've danced in the rain.
The bottle’s empty now, but my heart is full,
I cherish the lessons, I embrace them all.
Chorus:
26 years sober, and the bottom of the bottle is still dry,
Each year I rise higher, let the past pass by.
No more lost moments to a fleeting high,
I've found my true self, under a vast blue sky.
Outro:
So here’s to tomorrow, to living this life,
With 26 years sober, I’m free of the strife.
I’ll raise my glass high, filled with hope and delight,
Grateful for the journey, the darkness turned bright.
