(Italicized stanza to be sung in a sing song voice)
Dark thing,
Moon shadow,
Denial, Defeat, Death
Reside inside thee.
Hiding in thy opaque.
Quiet cacophony of defects
Slithers in the darkness,
Strangles with distress
And seeks always to
Isolate
And
Kill
Me.
Trapped in thy dark,
I ate to survive,
I ate to die,
I ate to survive,
I ate to die.
In desperation, I groped in darkness, guided by Higher Power
To find the rooms, fellowship and the
Blessed freedom of abstinence.
The light of recovery shines full in me
And Higher Power blessed me with knowledge,
With Naming –
Dark thing,
Moon shadow,
Umbra, you are disease.
Disease, you are….
Disease, you are
Umbie, umbie, umbra,
Yes, I can be free.
Umbie, umbie, umbra
Just give myself to HP.
Umbie, umbie, umbra
Yes, I can be free.
Umbie, umbie, umbie,
Umbie, umbie, umbie,
Umbie, ubmie, UMBRA!
