Mitchell Frederick - Just for Today (Anthem for the Addicts Who Chose to Rise)

I used to wake up sick — heart heavy, mouth dry
Prayin' to a God I swore I didn’t believe in, askin', “Why?”
Mirror never lied, but I stopped lookin’
Numbed every feeling, but inside I was crooked

I stole time, I broke trust, burned every bridge
Said "this is the last time" — but I never did
I wasn’t evil — just empty and lost
Never understood why love came with a cost

But in that quiet, rock-bottom place
I found something sacred in all that disgrace
It wasn’t a sermon, wasn’t a sign
It was one broken breath… and a choice to climb

Just for today, I won’t run
I’ll sit with the pain — I won’t come undone
Twelve steps deep, no shame in the fall
We all crawl before we learn to stand tall

Just for today, I’ll be real
Say what I feel and try to heal
One breath, one step, one prayer at a time
I’m still here… and that’s a sign

This is for the junkie in the trap house bed
For the mother who can’t get her baby outta her head
For the vet with a bottle and a shaking hand
For the kid on the run who don’t understand

You’re not weak — you’re wounded
You ain’t lost — you’re human
This ain’t about guilt or who’s to blame
This is about breakin' the cycle and changin' the game

Surrender ain’t giving up — it’s stepping back in
Into the light, into the fight, into where you've been
Higher Power — call it God, the group, or the sky
Whatever keeps you clean… that’s your why

Just for today, I choose to stay
Even when the voices beg me to stray
Twelve steps deep — with brothers, with truth
We rebuild from the wreckage of youth

Just for today, I’ll hold the line
I ain’t perfect, but this soul is mine
I’m not who I was, and I’m not afraid
I'm alive, I'm awake — just for today

"You made it this far. So stay.
Just for today. That’s all it takes."

With an unmatched persistence and love for the art, the musician has performed at some of the most exclusive and premiere venues across the country. Mitchell has also graced the crowds of Mexico, Panama, Colombia, Cyprus, Dominican Republic, and Israel with his eclectic house beats.
