The Therapist's Anthem

There's a song by one of my favorite artists, Donny Osmond, that is perfect for a therapist. It's called "Whenever You're In Trouble" off his album What I Meant To Say. He wrote the song for his children, but I think it works for therapists, too. Every time I hear the song, I can hear my shrink saying these words to me. Let me know what you think. Here's the lyrics.

Whenever You're In Trouble
By Donny Osmond ©

Tell me from the heart,
In your eyes I see the pain,
It's tearing you apart,
Let me take it all away,
You know someone believes in you,
When they love you no matter what you do,
You know you are home
And you're not alone,
When you hear me say...

(Chorus)
Whenever you're in trouble,
Whenever you may need me,
I will fight for you,
I will help you through,
Whenever life's deceiving,
I'll give you new meaning,
No matter where you are,
You're always in my heart,
Whenever you're in trouble I will be right here...

Sometimes you're gonna find,
Nothing goes the way you planned,
But whatever's on your mind,
I will try to understand,
You know someone is by your side,
When they help you through the darkest night,
You know you are home,
And you're not alone,
When you hear me say...

(Chorus)

Now's the time
To share what you're feeling inside,
No matter how long it takes,
No matter how many mistakes!

Oh, now's the time
To reach and you will find,
That whenever you need me to care,
I'll always be there

(Chorus)

Whenever you're in trouble I will be right here.
