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.
Heroes are made when you make a choice.
You can be a hero. Heroes do what's right.
You can be a hero. You might save a life.
You can be a hero.
You can 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's brave
fighting the lie that giving up is the way.
Each moment of courage, her own life she saves.
When she throws out the pill, a hero is made.
Heroes are made when you make a choice.
You can be a hero. Heroes do what's right.
You can be a hero. You might save a life.
You can be a hero. You can join the fight for what's right,
for what's right, for what's right.
No one talks to him about the life that 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.
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.

Little Mikey d was the one in class who everyday got brutally harrassed. 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 dresser 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 said this isn't my responsibility to solve a problem that isn't about me. This is my problem! This is just one of the daily scenarios in which we choose to not arise. If we make a choice, we can be a voice to those who won't speak up for themselves. So, just stop walking by, not wanting to intervene, cause you just wanna exist and never be seen. So let's wake up and change the world. Our time is now!
You can be a hero. (our time is now)
You can be a hero. (our time is now)
You can be a hero. (our time is now)
