Sailor's Advice

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
 And a kindness from you might have saved his life...
 Heroes are made when you make a choice
 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 and 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 on life she saves
 When she throws the pills out a hero is made
 Heroes are made when you make a choice
 Heroes are made when you make a choice
 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 him about how he lives
 He thinks that the choices he makes are just his
 Doesn't know he's the 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
 Heroes are made when you make a choice
 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 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 my 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
 You could be a hero (Our time is now)
 Heroes do what's right
 You could be a hero (Our time is now)
 You might save a life
 You could be a hero, you could join the fight (Our time is now)
 For what's right, for what's right
