Drop me a message with your favourite uplifting soundtrack and why it makes you feel good, and we will feature your choice!  Remember, we are responsible for what we put out in the world, and what we put out impacts those around us."

So no one told you life was gonna be this way  
Your job's a joke, you're broke  
Your love life's DOA  
It's like you're always stuck in second gear  
When it hasn't been your day, your week, your month  
Or even your year, but

I'll be there for you  
(When the rain starts to pour)  
I'll be there for you  
(Like I've been there before)  
I'll be there for you  
('Cause you're there for me too)

You're still in bed at ten  
And work began at eight  
You've burned your breakfast  
So far, things are going great  
Your mother warned you there'd be days like these  
But she didn't tell you when the world has brought  
You down to your knees that

I'll be there for you  
(When the rain starts to pour)  
I'll be there for you  
(Like I've been there before)  
I'll be there for you  
('Cause you're there for me too)

No one could ever know me  
No one could ever see me  
Seems you're the only one who knows  
What it's like to be me  
Someone to face the day with  
Make it through all the rest with  
Someone I'll always laugh with  
Even at my worst, I'm best with you, yeah

It's like you're always stuck in second gear  
When it hasn't been your day, your week, your month  
Or even your year

I'll be there for you  
(When the rain starts to pour)  
I'll be there for you  
(Like I've been there before)  
I'll be there for you  
('Cause you're there for me too)

I'll be there for you  
I'll be there for you  
I'll be there for you  
('Cause you're there for me too)
