hopeful (music video version)

oh-oh-oh

yeah

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 want to leave my home

my momma's askin' me why i'm always alone

too scared to say

too scared to hollah

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

but 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 but the colour on my skin?

or whether i'm fat or whether i'm thin?

you call me a loser

you call me a fool

i ain't got a choice

i gotta go to school

i wish i had an angel to stand by my side

i'm shaking with fear

i'm so scared inside

does it 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 to 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

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
