HERO by superchick

Verse 1: No one talks to him and 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

And he comes back to school with a gun at his side

And a kindness from you might have saved his life

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 2: no one talks to her, she feels so alone

She’s into much pain to survive on her own

The hurt she can’t handle over flows to knife

She writes on her arm want to give up her life

Each day she goes on is 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 the pills out, a hero is made

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 3: 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 changed a nine year olds life

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

Rap:    Little Mikey D. was the one in class who everyday got verbally harassed

This went on for years until he decided never again will he shed another tear

As he walked through the door, grabbed 4.4 out his father’s dressing drawer

And said I can’t take life no more, and like that a life could be lost

But this ain’t even about that, all of us just sat back and watched it happen

Thinking it’s not our responsibility to solve a problem that isn’t about me

But this is our problem,

This is just one of the daily scenarios we which we choose to close our eyes

Instead of doing the right thing

If we make a choice to be the voice of those who won’t speak up for themselves

How many lives would saved, changed, and rearranged

Now it’s out time to pick a side, so don’t keep 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

Chorus:  you could be a hero, heroes do what’s right (our time is now)

You could be a hero, you might save a life (our time is now)

You could be a hero, you could join the fight (our time is now)

For what’s right, for what’s right, for what’s right (our time is now)
