Sober Me

Ronnie Freeman


Who knew the choice
That he would make 
In a moment walk away 
Seemed a picture perfect life 
Now himself, his kids
His wife are shipwrecked 
And what became of faith
Was it all a masquerade 
Or one day starting to love
Something more than he loved truth 
It was one more phone call
Chilling me within 
Can't deny the consequence of sin 

Chorus:
Sober me
Sober me
Lord, wake me to the shadows
That are closing in on me
It's hard to see the nightfall
When it falls so gradually
Sober me

Desire crouches at my door 
But I've never heard him roar 
He's so silent but so real
He will lie and kill and steal 
Be near, Lord
Keep my soul alert
Of the many I would hurt 
With one foolish choice I'd make
There's so much at stake 
Remind me 
The most dangerous place to be 
Is when I'm thinking 
It could never happen to me

Repeat Chorus

It's hard to see the nightfall
When it falls so gradually
Sober me
