This is a song I wrote especially for spreading awareness for anxiety, depression, mental illnesses, and suicide. These things are more common than you may think, and not all of us are aware of that. What we can do is immerse ourselves into learning about these things so that we can learn what to do, should a serious situation occur. Stop the stigma before it's too late. Who knows, you could be that one person to make the biggest difference of all. The song is called "It Only Takes One."
It only takes one to make a difference
Only one to spread the light
One chance to make things better
Or turn the wrongs all right
It only takes one to break the silence
Only one to take a stand
One voice that speaks with kindness
One person to lend a hand
It only takes one
Sittin’ on the stairs, on the bed, on the floor
Crying out those tears ‘cause you’re hurt to the core
Thoughts in your head and words that they say
Make it more difficult each and every day
Starin’ out the window, gazing into space
Wishing all this pain could just be erased
Screaming out for help, drowning inside
Hoping for just one person to save your life
Walking along with your head in the clouds
But what do you see when you look towards the ground
Tear-stained cheeks and a face gone red
Scars on the wrist from pain that spread
Look in their eyes, can you see that they’re afraid
Wishing all their pain could just go away
Screaming out for help, they’re drowning inside
Hoping for just one person to save your life
It only takes one to make things alright
It only takes one for hope to be in sight
It only takes one to share the light within
It only takes one for the end to begin...again
