I Promise

The only thing that matters
is getting your next fix –
Don't you know there's more to life
and other ways to get your kicks?

Like playing volleyball on the beach
or bowling on Thursday nights –
exercising at the gym,
taking the kids to fly their kites.

Snap some pictures of the world around you
or become a scuba diver
You can do anything you dream
even become a race car driver.

Don't choose to throw your life away
for a fifty-cent bag of dope
There's more to life, I promise
You just can't give up hope.
