Jingle Blues

A mental health Christmas carol!

Dashing through my mind

In a negative, repetitive way

My confidence is long gone

It has been chased away

Thinking I'm no good

That I can't get anything right

It's time to start taking back my life

So I'll sing this song tonight!

(chorus)

Mental health, mental health

Chase the blues away

Oh! what fun it is to live

In a mental healthy way

Mental health, mental health

Chase the blues away

Oh! what fun it is to live

In a mental healthy way

*

Depression came around

But he stayed for far too long

He told me that I'm weak

That I could not be strong

Then anxiety popped round too

My mind became a cell

Is there any escape from the jail of my mind?

It became too hard to tell

(chorus)

Mental health, mental health

Chase the blues away

Oh! what fun it is to live

In a mental healthy way

Mental health, mental health

Chase the blues away

Oh! what fun it is to live

In a mental healthy way

*

When I thought there's no way back

That no-one else could hear

Therapy showed the way

To tackle all my fears

The road was long and hard

And sometimes it felt strange

But I kept on going and now I see

It was down to me to change

(chorus)

Mental health, mental health,

Chase the blues away.

Oh! what fun it is to live

In a mental healthy way.

Mental health, mental health,

Chase the blues away.

Oh! what fun it is to live

In a mental healthy way.

*

The fog that once was here

Has finally dispersed

The Black Dog is not gone

But I no longer feel cursed

The thoughts might still be there

But I can ignore what they try to say

And concentrate on living my life

In a mental healthy way

(chorus)

Mental health, mental health,

Chase the blues away.

Oh! what fun it is to live

In a mental healthy way.

Mental health, mental health,

Chase the blues away.

Oh! what fun it is to live

In a mental healthy way.
