Hero (red pill remix) by Superchic[k]

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.

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 is 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.

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 change a nine-year-old's life.

Little Mikey-Dee was the one in class Who everyday got brutally harassed. This went on for years Till he decided that never again would he shed another tear. So he walked through the door And grabbed the .44 out of his father's dresser drawer. He said 'I can't take life no more.' And like that a life can be lost, But this ain't even about that. All of us just sat back and watched it happen Thinking its 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 In 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, rearranged? Now it's our time to pick a side. So don't keep walking by not wanting to intervene, Cause you just want to exist and never be seen. So lets wake up, change the world OUR TIME IS NOW!!!
