Hero

{name: Verse 1} Dm A# No one sits with him, he doesn't fit in F C But we feel like we do when we make fun of him Dm A# Cause you want to belong, do you go along? C C Cause his pain is the price paid for you to belong Dm A# It's not like you hate him or want him to die F C But maybe he goes home and thinks suicide Dm A# Or he comes back to school with a gun at his side C And a kindness from you might have saved his life {name: Tag} Dm A# Heroes are made when you make a choice {name: Chorus} Dm A# You could be a hero - heroes do what's right F C You could be a hero - you might save a life Dm A# You could be a hero- you could join the fight F C Dm For what's right, for what's right, for what's right {name: Verse 2} Dm A# No one talks to her, she feels so alone F C She's in too much pain to survive on her own Dm A# The hurt she can't handle overflows to a knife C C She writes on her arm and wants to give up her life Dm A# Each day she goes on is a day that she's brave F C Fighting the lie that giving up is the way Dm A# Each moment of courage her one life she saves C C When she throws the pills out a hero is made Dm A# Dm Heroes are made when you make a choice {name: Tag} {name: Chorus} Dm A# No one talks to him about how he lives F C He thinks that the choices he makes are just his Dm A# Doesn't know he's the leader with the way he behaves C C And others will follow the choices he's made Dm A# He lives on the edge, he's old enough to decide F C His brother who wants to be him is just nine Dm A# He can do what he wants because it's his right C C The choices he makes change a nine-year-old's life {name: Tag} {name: Chorus} {name: Rap} Little Mikey D was the one in class who everyday got brutally 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 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 watched it happen Thinkin' it's not our responsibility to solve a problem that isn't even 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, and 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 {name: Chorus} Dm You could be a hero (Our time is now) Heroes do what's right E You could be a hero (Our time is now) You might save a life F You could be a hero, You could join the fight (Our time is now) G For what's right, for what's right
