verse 1
Dm C
He wakes up in the morning, his eyes are red he hardly slept
B C
It were his thoughts that kept him up all night, one of so many nights he cried.
Dm C
These awful names till floating through his head
Bb F
with all the nasty things they said carving their marks into his heart
C Dm
Their nochalance rips him apart.
C Bb
Another day, will it be cruel? The fear travels with him to school
A
Nervous he treads into the hall, he ingores what they call
Dm Bb
I know you find it hard to believe but it gets better.
Bb A
It takes the dark of night before the sun can shine
Dm Bb
I know the pain is hard to forget, but life gets brighter,
C
with a smile on your face you'll stand right there and then
no more need to pretend,
Bb A D
you know the time was tough but it was effort well spent.
verse 2
Dm C Bb
She's gazing out the window before laugh this used to be her favourite class
C
Now it takes all her energy to keep their words away
Dm C Bb
You see her distant looks, her empty stares, gifts from a word that doesn't care
C Dm
She doesn't know she's not alone, she doesn't feel she has a home
C Bb
As she gets pushed onto the ground, she doesn't even make a sound
A
People look the other way. The teachers pretends it's just childly play
Dm Bb
I know you find it hard to believe but it gets better.
Bb A
It takes the dark of night before the sun can shine

C
with a smile on your face you'll stand right there and then
no more need to pretend,
Bb A D
you know the time was tough but it was effort well spent.

So what you're different from the rest
Dm
Can't you see that you are best

Being yourself is not a sin
You give this world some coloring

Please put that pen and letter down, soon the world will be your playground,
C
I know it seems too much to bear it takes some strength but you're getting there.

It took some time for them but finally they understand it's other peoples insecurities

The world it is an ever changing place. Still they don't always like its pace.

The girl got up, after a while. The boy remembered how to smile.
