I know a secret cure for depression
And it isn't some dangerous drug.
When you feel absolutely miserable,
Go and give someone else a big hug.
That's it! That's the whole prescription.
If I could patent it, I'd be a rich man.
For I've yet to see an expensive shrink
Do what a puppy or an honest hug can.
There's another trick that works real well
When you're feeling sad, lonely and blue -
Call your friends and ask, "How ya doin'?"
Then go help somebody other than you!
The easiest thing to do when we're sad
Is to find a deep hole and crawl into it
And we never admit we dug that hole.
We just walk right over and fall into it!
But the second we reach out to others,
Our problems aren't so hard to endure.
It's mysterious, actually, how it happens.
I'm telling ya, buddy, it's a miracle cure!
It's so easy to lose sight of in this world
Filled with people pushing and shoving.
We think we're sad from a lack of love
When it's really just a lack of loving.
