Sober Warriors

By Kenneth G. White Jr(@ copyright: From the forthcoming book “Igniting the Warrior Spirit”)Dedicated with love to people in need of hope and healing

C’mon Brother you can do it

C’mon Sister you’ll get through it

Let’ change our history

Let’s be sober Warriors

       You and me

Let’s climb that mountain of hope

And conquer that valley of hopelessness

Let’s be happy, healthy, and free

Let’s be sober Warriors

      You and me

Let’s go to the other side

From depression and addiction

To the promised land Of healing, wellness, and conviction

Let’s be sober Warriors

      You and me

Let’s go home to our family

Forget about pills and drink

Let’s go back to spirituality

Let’s be sober Warriors

     You and me

‍

Let’s get off these mean forsaken streets

For they are nothing but heartbreak and deceit Let’s be a loving family

Let’s be sober Warriors

     You and me

    I know you’re hungry

    I know you’re tired

    I know you’re sick of being wired

There’s a better way to live in peace

Let’s be sober Warriors

       You and me

Let’s plan our sober life ahead

Let’s get that job, get that degree

There’s something good in front of

us

Let’s be sober Warriors

      You and me

Let’s find our Warrior Spirit

It’s vibrating in our hearts and souls

Let’s look within our Native self and to Creator

To heal indigenously

Let’s be sober Warriors

          You and me

      Some Started drinking young

      Innocent victims Of colonial traumatic disease

      Realize brother and sister

      alcohol is an evil spirit

      Rise above holistically

Let’s be sober Warriors

            You and me

But I can’t do it, it has control over me

Understand God loves you

and will set you free

Call upon Him prayerfully then sincerely

meet your prayer halfway

Let’s be sober Warriors

      You and me

             Our dear ancestors and elders

             only want what is

             good for us

            Their prayers are filled with love, hope and healing

            Through our Four Sacred Mountains

            And .Dine ‘Deities

            Let’s be sober Warriors

                 You and me

If you are alone on this journey

Always remember you are not alone

God is on your side and your spiritual guide

unconditionally, lovingly, eternally

Let’s be sober Warriors

You and me

          Let’s stand on Mother Earth

          And get humbly on our knees

          Let’s pray to God Almighty to heal us

Dear Heavenly Father

please let me realize myself and my Warrior Spirit

     Let’s be sober Warriors

             You and me
