I love you as if you are a brother-
we’ve been friends for many years,
We’ve stood with each other-
thru good times, and some tears-

Now, some news has come to me-
news, I do not like-
That “demon ***” has clenched its teeth-
And has taken quite a bite.

Its up to you, to fight this fight-
and I know that you can win-
So, listen, to what I have to say-
For I’m with you, thick, or thin

"It’s YOUR HAND that holds the bottle-
It’s YOUR HAND that pours the drink-
It’s YOUR HAND that lifts the glass-
And its YOUR HAND, that CAN, pour it down the sink!"
