about

In the mind of a bullied child, he finds an inner star and light to keep himself pressing onward. He gives himself a shield of his own self-talk, and the beatings and words fires toward him simply don't stick.

lyrics

I like to be a nice guy,
Lot's of fun,
Someone that can be trusted,
Bright as a sun,
Even though they want me sad
They won't bother me
I shut them out, try to stay glad
They're not worth it, you see

Gotta keep my hopes up and going strong
Gotta be a good man and get along
Gotta think on the bright when there is none
I have no reason to do these things, sometimes it's fun
It's true!

I don't do this for the end
to be safe from the Hell-flame
I do this to make others happy
Reality's not a game
I'm not the only one here,
Life's for others too,
So now I'm off again,
A bully's got justice to chew

Gotta keep my hopes up and going strong
Gotta be a good man and get along
Gotta think on the bright when there is none
I have no reason to do these things, sometimes it's fun
It's true!

When life gives you lemons, make lemonade
Get a couple of friends, don't be afraid
Stick with eachother, be there for eachother, life will go well
Life is a privalige, not a right, that's all I will tell
