[Verse:] |
|
No one sits with him, he doesn't fit in |
|
But we feel like we do when we make fun of him |
|
Cause you want to belong do you go along? |
|
Cause his pain is the price paid for you to belong |
|
It's not like you hate him or want him to die |
|
But maybe he goes home and thinks suicide |
|
Or he comes back to school with a gun at his side |
|
Any kindness from you might have saved his life |
|
[Tag:] |
|
Heroes are made when you make a choice |
|
[Chorus:] |
|
You could be a hero |
|
Heroes do what's right |
|
You could be a hero |
|
You might save a life |
|
You could be a hero, You could join the fight |
|
For what's right for what's right for what's right |
|
[Verse:] |
|
No one talks to her, she feels so alone |
|
She's in too much pain to survive on her own |
|
The hurt she can't handle overflows to a knife |
|
She writes on her arm, wants to give up her life |
|
Each day she goes on is a day that she is brave, |
|
Fighting the lie that giving up is the way, |
|
Each moment of courage her own life she saves |
|
When she throws the pills out a hero is made |
|
[Tag] |
|
[Chorus] |
|
[Verse:] |
|
No one talks to him about how he lives |
|
He thinks that the choices he makes are just his |
|
Doesn't know he's a leader with the way he behaves |
|
And others will follow the choices he's made |
|
He lives on the edge, he's old enough to decide |
|
His brother who wants to be him is just nine |
|
He can do what he wants because it's his right |
|
The choices he makes change a nine year old's life |
|
[Chorus] |
|
[Rap] |
|
Little Mikey D. was the one in class who everyday got brutually harassed |
|
This went on for years until he decided that never again would he shed another tear |
|
So he walked through the door, grabbed a four four out of his father's dressing drawer |
|
And said I can't take life no more |
|
And like that life can be lost |
|
But this ain't even about that |
|
All of us just sat back and watched it happen |
|
Thinkin' it's not my responsibility to solve a problem that isn't about me |
|
This is our problem |
|
This is just one of the daily scenarios which we choose to close our eyes |
|
Instead of doing the right thing |
|
If we make a choice and be the voice for those who won't speak up for themselves |
|
How many lives would be saved, changed, rearranged |
|
Now it's our time to pick a side |
|
So don't keep walkin' by |
|
Not wantin' to intervene |
|
Cause you wanna exist and never be seen |
|
So let's wake up and change the world |
|
Our time is now |
