Song Day- Livin' On A Prayer

This song proved to be rather easy to re-write for recovery. The lyrics say it all for me. My changes are in capital letters.

"Livin' on a Prayer" by Bon Jovi

Once upon a time
Not so long ago

Tommy used to DRINK 'ROUND THE CLOCK
SLAPPED DOWN BY THE LAW
He´s NOW SOBERED UP...it´s tough, so tough

Gina works the diner all day
NOT MUCH OF A JOB, BUT she brings home her pay
For love - for love

She says we´ve got to hold on to what we´ve got
'CAUSE THAT'S WHAT MAKES THE difference
If we make it or not
We´ve got THE PROGRAM and that´s a lot
OF love - we´ll give it a shot

Whooaaaaaa! We´re half way there
Whooooaaaa! Livin' 'CAUSE OF prayer
Take my hand- we´ll make it - I swear
Whooaaaa! Livin' 'CAUSE OF prayer

EVERY THING OF VALUE'S in hock
BEEN RUNNIN' ON FEAR BUT
THEY USED TO LIKE TO talk - so tough, it´s tough

Gina SOMETIMES STILL WANTS TO ESCAPE
SWEATS AND SHAKES THROUGH the night
Tommy whispers: Baby it´s okay, someday
We´ve got to hold on to what we´ve got
'CAUSE THAT'S WHAT MAKES THE difference
If we make it or not
We´ve got THE PROGRAM and that´s a lot
OF love - we´ll give it a shot

Whooaaaaaa! We´re half way there
Whooooaaaa! Livin' 'CAUSE OF prayer
Take my hand- we´ll make it - I swear
Whooaaaa! Livin' 'CAUSE OF prayer
Livin´'CAUSE OF prayer

Solo

Oooooooh
We´ve got to hold on ready or not
WE live for the fight when that´s all that WE've got

Whooaaaaaa! We´re half way there
Whooooaaaa! Livin' 'CAUSE OF prayer
Take my hand and we´ll make it - I swear
Whooaaaa! Livin' 'CAUSE OF prayer

Whooaaaaaa! We´re half way there
Whooooaaaa! Livin' 'CAUSE OF prayer
Take my hand and we´ll make it - I swear
Whooaaaa! Livin' 'CAUSE OF prayer

Whooaaaaaa! We´re half way there
Whooooaaaa! Livin' 'CAUSE OF prayer
Take my hand and we´ll make it - I swear
Whooaaaa! Livin' 'CAUSE OF prayer

Have a good and sober day.
