Hero by Superchick
This is one of my favorite songs, because it gives such valid points. In this society we don’t think about what consequence our harsh words could have on someone. We don’t think about the cashier’s life, or about why she rang us up wrong, we don’t care, we just snap at her. We don’t think about the bill collector’s life, we just blame them for our high heating bill. You never know who you will impact, and how what you say or do will impact them. You always want to make a good impact. Leave a lasting impression, but not because they have you in mind when they take their life.
Below is the first verse, and the chorus. Check it out:
Click on over to hear the song and see my Top Ten List.No one sits with him, he doesn't fit inBut we feel like we do when we make fun of himCause you want to belong, do you go along?Cause his pain is the price paid for you to belongIt's not like you hate him or want him to dieBut maybe he goes home and thinks suicideOr he comes back to school with a gun at his sideAnd a kindness from you might have saved his life.
Heroes are made when you make a choiceYou could be a hero - heroes do what's rightYou could be a hero - you might save a lifeYou could be a hero- you could join the fightFor what's right, for what's right, for what's right
