SURRENDER TO WIN. D.Ogle

Alot of people tell me
something about me's changed.
I tell 'em I'm just twice as crazy
and a whole lot less insane.
All my friends that know me,
Know the wreckage of my past.
They saw my dying spirit
Come back to life at last
If you don't believe in miracles
Well I stand here as proof
I came out of the darkness,
and you can do it to.
      Givin' up and dyin'
       ain't as easy as you think
       That rock bottoms deeper
        than  the bottle that you drink
        It's a vicious firey circle that
        burns you again and agian
        It's a cruel game, and
        You've got to surrender to win.
I know it's confusing
You finally reach out for help
Just to have them tell you
you gotta figure it out yourself
You thought there was a magic
cure, just sober up and done.
but of all the things you have to change, quittin's the easy one.
         Settlin' for nothin'
         Is all part of the game
         your object is to play
         Until you die or go insane
         It's a firey vicious circle
         that burns again and again
          It's a cruel game
          and you've got to surrender
           to win
