Caught in the torrent, the river's wild embrace
Waves crash around me, as I struggle to find grace
Each day pulls me further, from the life I used to know
But hope glimmers faintly, in the undertow
Currents drag me deeper, but I won't lose the fight
Eyes on the shoreline, yearning for the light
Oh, the river's rage, it tries to drown my soul
But I will find the strength to reach my goal
Though the banks seem far, I'll swim with all my might
To the shore of hope, where I'll reclaim my life
In the shadows of addiction, the water's cold and dark
But I see a beacon, a distant, fleeting spark
Memories of freedom, they guide me through the pain
With each stroke I'm closer, to breaking from the chain
The river's pull is strong, but my will is stronger still
I'll rise above the waves, through sheer force of will
Oh, the river's rage, it tries to drown my soul
But I will find the strength to reach my goal
Though the banks seem far, I'll swim with all my might
To the shore of hope, where I'll reclaim my life
Through the rapids and the whirlpools, I'll fight to stay alive
For every breath of air, and for the will to strive
The shore may seem distant, but I feel its pull so true
With each beat of my heart, I'm closer to the new
Oh, the river's rage, it tries to drown my soul
But I will find the strength to reach my goal
Though the banks seem far, I'll swim with all my might
To the shore of hope, where I'll reclaim my life
The current may be ruthless, but my spirit won't give in
I'll conquer these dark waters, let the journey begin
For on that distant shoreline, a new life's waiting there
With courage and with hope, I'll breathe the free air
