Backstory:

Since the kids are returning to school, I thought this might be a timely song that concept is to prevent bullying from occurring.  The secondary idea is that being different isn't wrong, and in fact, diversity is growing.  Bullying causes shame, bullying can also cause invisible pain or pain that does not get detected but has serious consequences.  Some children who engage in bullying behavior are actually victims of abuse who align with their perpetrator.  There are different forms of bullying, but all has been known to be harmful and cause shame. Vocals, Music & Music Production by Andrew Hall (Ireland), and Lyrics by Clare Steffen (USA), as a part of the Round The Globe project.

Lyrics:

                                                  
V1

Today you called me names

It really wasn't funny

You tried your best to shame

I gave you all my money



V2

You took my lunch again

Hit me in the face this time

Don't know why this all began

Not protected from your crimes



Chorus

Being different isn't wrong

Diversity is growing

Bullying has gone on way too long

Some do it without knowing

Bullying causes harm

Invisible pain

Bullying causes shame

Here you go again!



V2

Bullying happens every day

In-person and online

No escape, can't get away

What does it cost to be kind?



Chorus

Being different isn't wrong

Diversity is growing

Bullying has gone on way too long

Some do it without knowing

Bullying causes harm

Invisible pain

Bullying causes shame

Here you go again!



Outro

Bullying has to stop

Invisible pain, causing shame

Bullying (invisible pain)
