🇬🇧 Live, brave one
[Verse 1: Raoul Kerr]
We've all had to go, to the land down below
Where the sun don't shine and the moon don't glow
Sat back trapped in the big bubble, saying:
"Chuck that man it ain't worth the trouble"
Sound familiar don't it?
I think we all own it
A mindset that don't seem to get we've outgrown it
Now I'm sat back poking at the big bubble, saying:
"Talk back, you're bigger than the trouble"
[Pre-Chorus: Roul Kerr, Jayant Bhadula]
Walk this valley of death, head high
Say "I'll be back, today I won't die"
'Cause try as we may we can never deny
We can get back up if we're still alive!
Only after enduring the tests of fire
Iron is forged
[Chorus: Jayant Bhadula]
Live, brave one
Fight those internal storms and
Win, brave one
Weather those wounds and
Rise once again
Fly once again
For too long you've lay in darkness
Live, brave one
Fight those internal storms and
Win, brave one
Weather those wounds and
Rise once again
Fly once again
For too long you've lay in darkness
[Verse 2: Raoul Kerr]
Sensitivity: the ability to feel it all
A gift and a curse, the rise and the fall
I see you and me safe in a place in the middle
A break from the rat race just for a little
Chose the moment and froze it forever in time
Took a piece of us and wrapped it up in a rhyme
You got 13 reasons for you to go away?
Here's three more: for why you gotta stay
[Pre-Chorus: Roul Kerr, Jayant Bhadula]

[Chorus: Jayant Bhadula]
In a very random day YouTube suggested something very random. I got curious about the band's name: Bloodywood. It sounded to me like a parody to the Indian film industry Bollywood, which some time later that in their early days they would do parody of the respective industry of films. I didn't know what to expect when I opened the video. For my surprise and joy, it was of the best and the most beautiful songs I heard in 2019. While following the subtitles/lyrics in the videoclip (because there are some excerpts that are sung in hindi and they are translated in bold and italics in the lyrics I've shared), I cried by how profound it was embed.
It's sad to think that in 2020 many still say depression, or any other mental illness, is nonsense. It's also sad knowing that many that suffer from this ailment are mocked and made inferior. It's a subject of global worry, it isn't a coincidence it's been raised a discussion about depression being considered the evil of the plague of the century. Not of the year nor the decade: IT'S OF THE CENTURY!
Yet, there are good people that raise and make everything to help. This very own band put themselves in order to help in a partnership with an online institution which helps who need, HopeTherapy, donating some discount coupons (which is commented about in nearly 4:42 of the videoclip).
Have you ever stopped to notice if any of your fellows suffer from this evil? What have you done or are doing to help them? Maybe you don't have financial conditions to buy helping sessions to someone you know, but I'm pretty sure that a phone call, a message, calling out for some coffee, or simply stay side-to-side in silence, are ways of helping of helping this person to get out of its loneliness.
If you reading, that are reading this text, is going through a situation like this and don't know whom to talk, I open my heart to listen to you. If you are reading this from one of my blogs, look for my contact in the end of the text and send me a message on Facebook or Instagram.
Life has a lot to offer. God hasn't promised a life free of problems and difficulties, but put Himself available to be in our side, if we permit.
And, to conclude, e repeat the song's chorus:
"Live, brave one. Fight those internal storms and win, brave one. Weather those wounds and rise once again. Fly once again. For too long you've lay in darkness."
