Hopeful

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

Tryna fit in, where do I belong?

I wake up everyday, don't wanna leave my home

My momma's asking 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 wanna tell my mum but she's having 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 living 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 by the colour of my skin

No 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 stick by my side

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

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

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 (yeah)

Take this music and use it, let it take you away (uh-huh)

And be hopeful, hopeful, and he'll make a way

I know it ain't easy, but (yeah), 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
