'you Have To Get Up'

You have to keep fighting, you have to get up It is so important that you do not give up This is gonna feel like you're walking the plank But you must believe you've got enough in the tank This will be the toughest thing you'll ever have to do Generate the belief inside your mind to see this through I've been where you are right now, I've also been to hell My reward for fighting my way out was once again becoming well I know what you are going through, I have felt the pain If you fight back you won't have to feel like that again Repeat after me "I make this promise to myself" "I will never stop fighting for my mental health" I have made this oath, I will always fight for you I will help you to achieve the all important breakthrough Your illness is tough so you must be tougher Take my hand, fight by my side, no longer shall you suffer You can't run from depression, my friend's it must be tackled It will retreat because it's a coward, this will free you from the shackles During my whole experience there is one thing I have learned For you to become well, you must work hard, it must be earned Don't get overwhelmed, take it day by day Trust me when I say this, everything will be ok Are you prepared, are you ready for this fight Take my hand my friend, let's head towards the light
