Oh, listen all please, and heed words of truth
About the perils of drink in both adults and youth
As a wise philsopher did once wisely say
“No one wakes up thinking, ‘I wish I’d drunk more yesterday'”
We’ve all been there, in a morning haze
With a pounding head and a mouth like a rat cage
Regretting the choices we made the last night
And cursing the morning’s painful light
As pleasure is fleeting, like a bird shot in flight
And the comedown is tiresome and a painful sight
So let’s focus on what truly brings joy
And not on the drink that our daily pleasure destoys
Invest in yourself, your health, your mind
Your passions, your relationships, and what you wish to find
Life is a journey, not just a destination
So savor sobriety, with deserved adulation
So, let’s raise a glass to this simple new creed
And enjoy our lives with the balance we need
For when we wake up, we want no regret
Just happiness, love, and a life of needs met.
