Hero

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 belongIt’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...

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

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...
TAG/CHORUS

Little Mikey-Dee was the one in classWho everyday got brutally harassedThis went on for yearsTill he decided that never again would he shed another tearSo he walked through the doorAnd grabbed the .44 out of his father's dresser drawer He said 'I can't take life no more'And like that a life can be lostBut this ain't even about thatAll of us just sat back and watched it happenThinking its not our responsibilityTo solve a problem that isn't even about meWell this is our problemThis is just one of the daily scenariosIn which we choose to close our eyes Instead of doing the right thingIf we make a choice and be the voiceFor those who won't speak up for themselvesHow many lives would we saved, changed, rearrangeIt's our time to make a shineSo don't keep walking by cause you don't want to intervene.Cause you just want to exist and never be seenSo lets wake up, change the worldOur time is now.

You could be a hero - (Our time is now) heroes do what’s rightYou could be a hero - (Our time is now) you might save a lifeYou could be a hero - (Our time is now) you could join the fightFor what’s right, for what’s ri-ight...

think about these lyrics the next time you want to make fun of someone or talk about someone behind their back....if only we all watched what we said....our world would be so different
