Lyrics

Literal Translation

Meaningful Translation

Please help me God, I feel so alone

I'm just a kid, I can't take it on my own

I've cried so many tears, yeah, writing this song

Trying to fit in. Where do I belong?

I wake up every day, don't wanna leave my home

My mamma's askin' me why I'm always alone

Too scared to say, too scared to holler

I'm walking to school with sweat around my collar

I'm just a kid, I don't want no stress

My nerves are bad, my life's a mess

The names you call me, they hurt real bad

I want to tell my Mom

She's havin' trouble with my Dad

I feel so trapped, there's nowhere to turn

Come to school

Don't wanna fight I wanna learn

So please mister Bully

Tell me what I've done

You know I have no Dad

I'm livin' with my Mom

...

'Cause I'm hopeful, yes, I am

Hopeful for today

Take this music and use it

Let it take you away

And be hopeful, hopeful

And He'll make a way

I know it ain't easy but that's okay

Just be hopeful

...

Why do you trip at the colour of my skin

And whether I'm fat or whether I'm thin

You call me loser, you call me a fool

I ain't got a choice, I gotta go to school

I wish I had an angel to stick by my side

I'm shaking with fear, I'm so scared inside

Doesn't really matter if I ain't got the looks

Why do you always hurt me and destroy my books?

...

'Cause I'm hopeful, yes, I am

Hopeful for today

Take this music and use it

Let it take you away

And be hopeful, hopeful

And He'll make a way

I know it ain't easy but that's okay

Just be hopeful

...

I give you all my money every single day

I didn't ask to be born but now I have to pay

I ain't got no food, you take all I have

When I give it to you, you search through my bags

I wrote this song
for you to see

We could've been friends, yeah you and me

Mister bully, take a moment please

Every single day you bring me to my knees

...

'Cause I'm hopeful, yes, I am

Hopeful for today

Take this music and use it

Let it take you away

And be hopeful, hopeful

And He'll make a way

I know it ain't easy but that's okay

...

'Cause I'm hopeful, yes I am,

Hopeful for today (Hopeful for today)

Take this music and use it (Bars and Melody!)

Let it take you away (Take you away)

And be hopeful, hopeful (Yeah)

And he'll make a way

I know it ain't easy but that's okay

Just be hopeful

...

What I wear is all I have

We lost our home
, I'm livin' from a bag

Yo mister bully, help me please

I'm flesh and blood, accept me please
