One hell of a year it’s been and man I was feeling low

There have been times when on I just couldn’t go

Another year has passed me by, its World Mental Health Day once again

Better get my act together and put on a masked painted smile

Take my medication and fight the lonesome Autumn blues

Step out boldly into the teemi...

Now the world is in lockdown unprecedented in modern time

The government says stay at home and isolate to save lives

Keep your social distance and only go out for food or exercise
