Title: Simply Depressed
ttto: Simple Gifts by Joseph Brackett

It's okay to be saddened
It's okay to be down
It's okay if depression
Has you on the ground
If your brain isn't working
We won't say you're to blame
It can happen to any
And we're here to proclaim:

When you can't cope with what life brings
We won't make you dance and we won't make you sing
We'll be there through your darkest day
We'll help and we'll wait till you're quite okay

In depression, you can't do
Sometimes simplest of things
And you're hit even harder
By new stuff that life slings
And you feel you're a burden
And you feel you're at fault
But we'll stand in defense
Against life's new assault

When your depression's at its worst
We'll do what we can till you don't feel so cursed
When life is dark and seems unfair
We'll help and we'll watch and we'll just be there

Guessing a lyricist's opinions from his songs is as futile as
guessing an author's opinions from his novels.

Nicely done.
