'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
