David Dunn's 'Hymn of an Addict' is a raw, honest song about the early stirrings of recovery and spiritual awakening. The narrator wakes up feeling hopeful for the first time in a long while, sensing that something has changed inside. He describes hitting rock bottom, seeing a reflection he doesn't recognize, yet feeling a strange new freedom. The lyrics capture the tentative faith of someone who thinks he might have found Jesus, or at least something like Him, and is beginning to believe he can be released from his chains. It's a song about grace, hope, and the fragile beginnings of transformation.

The first day in a long long time
Woke up feeling I might survive
I think I can make it
At least for today
It's enough just the blood in my veins
Don't need nothing else in me to numb the pain
I can't explain it
But I'll try anyway
I think I found Jesus
Or something like Jesus (something like, something like yeah)
Cause it sure feels like freedom
Is breathing its way in my soul
So I think I found Jesus
Or something like Jesus
Woke up on the pavement at the bottom of hell
I see my reflection and I don't see myself
But something feels different
It's too soon to tell
I think I found Jesus
Or something like Jesus (something like)
Cause it sure feels like freedom
Is breathing its way in my soul
So I think I found Jesus
Or something like Jesus
I'll take what I'm given
If it's only a taste
Just have a moment released from these chains
Maybe I get it
I'm starting to get it
I think I found Jesus
Or something like Jesus
I think I found Jesus
Oh no
Cause it sure feels like freedom
Is breathing its way in my soul
So I think I found Jesus
Or something like Jesus
Yeah I think I found Jesus
Or something like Jesus
