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



[Chorus:]

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

[Chorus]



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

[Chorus]



[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 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



[Chorus:]

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
