PLEASE, LIKE & SHARE MY ART - THANK YOU, Nandi x. Early in 2022 my Dad fell into a depression as his autoimmune disease worsened. It was a difficult time for our family. I wanted to help cheer my Dad up by writing a song for him. He would describe his feelings to me and I would put them into lyrics letting him know, I would be there for him.

My Dad is now doing much better, he is on medication that is helping with his autoimmune disease and has recovered from his depression.

If you are suffering from mental health issues, please reach out for help. If you know of any good charities, groups or organisation in your area please share them in the comments for others.

YOU ARE LOVED. THERE IS HOPE.

LYRICS:

Verse One:

When your fears have taken their toil
When the demons have gotten control
When the shadows won’t leave you alone
I will be there

When all your rainbows turned into black
When the sun has turned its back
When all your power has bled itself dry
I will be there
For you

Chorus :

As we sing for better days and fight them in the fires,
I’ll take the pain away and give you everything your heart desires
When I feel the burning in my eyes, you start to slip away
swallowing the light as the rotten symphonies of gods decay

Please, will you just let me go!
Please, will you just let me go!

As we fly through time and space the emptiness will tear a place
Where darkness meets toxicity, bare hollow words inside of me
When I feel my anger grow, I write these words to let them know
We’re not their pawns to push around but a people born of salted ground

Please, will you just let me go!
Please, will you just let me go!
Please, will you just let me go!
Please, let me go!


Verse Two:

When you are feeling alone and so tired,
When the pain is too much you can’t bare
When all hope is gone from the world
I’ll be there

When you have lost that love in your eyes
When you think no-one can hear your cries
When your light has turned into night
I’ll be there

For you.
