about

This is a song of support for a dear friend who is bravely and successfully battling an addiction.

lyrics

In the lock down days, every Jack and Jill took to drinking
With many a head and liver getting soaked
What a gift, what a time to be hiding away
Wearing your camouflage cloak

Then one day you caught your reflection
You stared at a stranger instead
And on that day you made your conviction
With your hands all shaking you set out on this road

53 days is a long, long time
You’re a long, long way from home
You turned your back to those days as you walked away
And you did it all on your own

You had a plan but you kept it all as your little secret
Cos then if you failed nobody’s would know
Each time you tried the craving inside
Pulled you right back to your comfort zone

But this time you feel something different
You told your friends, now you’re not alone
You’ve thrown away your cloak of deception
They’re holding hands walking with you, down the long road

53 days is a long, long time
You’re a long, long way from home
You turned your back to those days as you walked away
And you did it all on your own

53 days is a long, long time
You’re a long, long way from home
53 days as a castaway
And you did it all on your own
53 days heading to the sun
There’s a sparkle in your eyes
53 days, keeping up the pace
Now you’re breaking into a run
