The joy is found within myself
The music in my soul
I've found my cloud nine
I discover it every day
I've nothing to hide
No fear I can't overcome
Breathing comes easy now
So many places to fly
The joy is found within myself
The music in my soul
Won't hold anything back
They can't scare me
Life is worth living
When you know you're worth it
Every day starts fresh
And my mind starts anew
The joy is found within myself
The music in my soul
Don't let them bully you
Be a strong you
Smile and mean it
Feel yourself glow
Love yourself as you
Make everything count
The joy is found within yourself
The music in your soul

Last year, a diagnosis
Last summer, alone
Tomorrow...death.
Last month, betrayal
Last week, lost friendship
Tomorrow...a black hole
Yesterday, some tears
Today, a breakdown
Tomorrow...won't exist
Tomorrow, setting it up
Tomorrow, going through with the plans
Tomorrow...someone smiles
Now, a healthy friendship
Now, a want to live
Now...hope and love

She wonders if he'll love her
Truly and forever
She asks if he will hold her
Every time she cries
She discovers that he left her
A long long time ago
She realizes she's better off
So she can be treated right
She smiles as she realizes
Her true love still awaits

He leans in and kisses her
Curving a hand around her cheek
She hugs him so tight
Nestling her head in his shoulder
They stand at the alter
Looking into each others eyes
Saying their vows
And promising forever
Their love lasts always
Never lessening or dying
As they grow old together
They still laugh and share kisses
Still promising forever
Each and every day

Depression is anger
It's being told lies
It's screaming
It's punching walls
And it's refusing to understand
Depression is painful
It's a destroyer
It's fear
It's roaring headaches
And it's losing everyone you love
Depression is ugly
It's tear stains
It's cuts
It's scaring others
And it's a heart filled with scars
Hope is find-able
It's letting go of hate
It's forgiving
It's finding someone you trust
And it's found through Jesus Christ

Every day gets a little bit darker
Every thought even starker
It takes control of me
Giving me no space to breathe
Each breath is harder to take
Each smile a little more fake
It manipulates my mind
And whispers "you're mine"
Most times I no longer have hope
Most moments I can't even cope
It has latched on firmly
Telling me dark lies in the night
Many thoughts scream in my mind
Many joys now hard to find
It confuses me
Making my life like a black hole
All my dreams have faded away
All my days turned a desolate grey
It's over
It's done
Depression has finally won
