The Superchick - Hero Lyrics

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, 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 own life she saves 
When she throws the pills out a hero is made 

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 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 

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 always the one in class 
Who every day 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 a 44 
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 will 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 been seen 
So let’s wake up 
Change the world 
Our time is now 

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)
