"The song I just did [Wine into Water by T. Graham Brown] is specifically about alcoholism but it’s also a metaphor for people coming to terms with the changes they have to make in their lives, whatever those changes are. Most of us don’t come to that place until the world has kicked our tail a little. I’ve been there. I spent a lot of years chasing the dragon, let’s say. Running from the pain---until running from the pain BECAME the pain. And it wasn’t until I came to terms with it and surrendered, that things started to turn around for me. It’s hard to make a change. You have to make up your mind that the old ways are over. But it’s worth it. Oh hell yeah, it's worth it. I wouldn’t be standing here today if I hadn’t done that. There's a lot of support out there, a lot of places where you can get help if you want it. You don’t have to do it alone."

Wine into Water by T. Graham Brown:
Wine into Water

You’ve heard a multitude of prayers on my behalf
I pray one more is not too much to ask
I’ve tried to fight this battle by myself
But it’s a war that I can’t win without Your help

Tonight, I’m as low as any man can go
I’m down and I can’t fall much farther
And once upon a time, You turned the water into wine
An’ now, on my knees, I’m turning to You, Father
Could You help me turn the wine back into water?

So many times I’ve hurt the ones I love
I pushed them to the edge of giving up
They’ve stood by me but how much can they stand
If I don’t put this bottle in Your hands?

Chorus
Tonight, I’m as low as any man can go
I’m down and I can’t fall much farther
And once upon a time, You turned the water into wine
An’ now, on my knees, I’m turning to You, Father
Could You help me turn the wine back into water?

I shook my fist at heaven for all the hell that I’ve been through
Now I’m begging for forgiveness and a miracle from You

‘Cause tonight, I’m as low as any man can go
I’m down and I can’t fall much farther
And once upon a time, You turned the water into wine
An’ now, on my knees, I’m turning to You, Father
Could You help me turn the wine back into water?
