Soberdoodle's Prayer

[Verse 1]

Soberdoodle woke up heavy, tail draggin' on the ground,

Empty bowls and empty nights, chasing ghosts around.

He said, "If the cure is faith, then I guess I'm outta luck,

'Cause I've chewed on every Bible, but belief just never stuck."

[Chorus]

But they said, "You don't need to worship, don't need to bow or nod,

You can howl your truth to the night sky, you don't have to know its God.

It's not about believing, it's the reaching out you do,

Soberdoodle, take the step—let god reach back to you."

[Verse 2]

He thought prayer was just for saints, not for strays like him,

But he tried a little whisper, though his hope was dim.

It wasn't lightning or thunder, just a moment he could choose,

To ask for strength to stumble less, and paws that wouldn't lose.

[Chorus]

'Cause you don't need a temple, don't need to kneel or nod,

You can howl your truth to the night sky, you don't have to know it's God.

It's not about the dogma, it's the asking that is true,

Soberdoodle, take the step—let god reach back to you.

[Bridge]

Every leash is heavy 'til someone helps you hold,

Every paw prints lighter when you're not alone in the cold.

You don't need faith to find your way,

Just courage enough to try today.

[Final Chorus]

So he prays without believing, but the prayer still makes him strong,

A song of action, not of creed, where every soul belongs.

It's not about religion, it's the reaching out you do,

Soberdoodle's getting sober—

And god is reaching too.
