Somebody’s out there getting hurt – Somebody’s out there crying;
Somebody’s feeling that they haven’t much worth –
No matter how hard they’re trying.
You may not be the mean one, who’s causing so much pain,
But you might be the in-between one, Who’s letting it happen, time and again, oh…
CHORUS:
Bystander – You’re more powerful than you know;
Little bystander – Though you may not think so.
You don’t have to turn your eyes, or silently just walk away:
Oh, bystander – You could change someone’s life today.
Maybe you’re one of the lucky ones, Who’s never been a bully’s target;
But it’s pretty clear that it’s not much fun, When you’re hurt and no one’s there to stop it.
Oh, you might not be the vicious one, Who is causing so much trouble.
But if you remain the silent one, Then the victim’s pain is more than double. (REPEAT CHORUS)
‘Cause there’s a whole school full of nice kids, And when they learn to stand together,
There’s not a bully anywhere, who can stay bully forever! Oh… (keychange)
Bystander – You’re far more powerful than you know!
Little bystander – Though you may not think so.
You don’t have to turn your eyes, or silently just walk away:
Oh, bystander – You could change someone’s life today.
Bystander – Go and change someone’s life – Today!
You’re more powerful than you know…. Bystander.
