Hopeful

Oh-oh-oh
 Yeah (please, please, please)
 Please help me God, I feel so alone
 I'm just a kid, I can't take it on my own
 I've cried so many tears, yeah, writing this song
 Trying to fit in, where do I belong?
 I wake up every day, don't wanna leave my home
 My momma's askin' me why I'm always alone
 Too scared to say, too scared to holler
 I'm walking to school, with sweat around my collar (I wish)
 I'm just a kid, I don't want no stress
 My nerves are bad, my life's a mess
 The names you call me, they hurt real bad
 I want to tell my mom
 But she's havin' trouble with my dad (I wish)
 I feel so trapped, there's nowhere to turn
 Coming to school, don't wanna fight, I wanna learn
 So please, Mr. Bully, tell me what I've done
 You know I have no dad, I'm livin' with my mom
 'Cause I'm hopeful, yes, I am
 Hopeful for today
 Take this music and use it
 Let it take you away
 And be hopeful, hopeful
 And He'll make a way
 I know it ain't easy, but that's okay
 Just be hopeful
 Why do you trip at the color of my skin?
 On whether I'm fat or whether I'm thin?
 You call me a loser, you call me a fool
 I ain't got a choice, I gotta go to school (I wish)
 I wish I had an angel to stand by my side
 I'm shaking with fear, I'm so scared inside
 It doesn't really matter if I ain't got the looks
 Why do you always hurt me and destroy my books?
 'Cause I'm hopeful, yes, I am
 Hopeful for today
 Take this music and use it
 Let it take you away
 And be hopeful, hopeful
 And He'll make a way
 I know it ain't easy, but that's okay
 Just be hopeful
 I give you all my money every single day
 I didn't ask to be born, but now I have to pay
 I ain't got no food, you take all I have
 When I give it to you, you search through my bags
 I wrote this song for you to see
 We could've been friends, yeah, you and me
 Mr. Bully, take a moment please
 Every single day you bring me to my knees
 'Cause I'm hopeful, yes, I am
 Hopeful for today (yeah)
 Take this music and use it
 Let it take you away
 And be hopeful, hopeful
 And He'll make a way
 I know it ain't easy (yeah), but that's okay
 'Cause I'm hopeful, yes, I am
 Hopeful for today
 Take this music and use it
 Let it take you away
 And be hopeful, hopeful
 And He'll make a way
 I know it ain't easy, but that's okay
 Just be hopeful
 What I wear is all I have
 We lost our home, I'm livin' from a bag
 Yo, Mr. Bully, help me please
 I'm flesh and blood, accept me please
