What if the road is long and lonely
     It has direction doesn't it?
Your friend in need
Give your brain a break
It's never too late to get clean
Beware, it could be you next
The treatment lies in the method
Here's how you can help
Hold a candle to their lives
Reaching out
Listen, they have been there
Getting trashed is fun!
