The things that we go throughnAre what it is that makes you.nThe hardships that we livenAre the lessons that life gives.nnWell, he comes home from school in fear.nHis mother screams and his father wreaks of beer.nDad's nothingness makes for clenched fists.nBut, don't be scared 'cause I've been there.nThe broken home has helped to keep me strong.nnDon't give up; don't give innWhen you're the only one in this world,nAnd it feels like life's turned its back on you.nI am here now and whennYou ever need a hand to reach out,nAnd hold on to you. I know what you'renGoing throughnnWell, she cries 'cause she's different.nThey point and laugh at her torment.nBut, don't hide in shame,n'Cause they're all the same.nAgainst the grain has helped to keep me sane.nnDon't give up; don't give innWhen you're the only one in this world,nAnd it feels like life's turned its back on you.nI am here now and whennYou ever need a hand to reach out,nAnd hold on to you. I know what you'renGoing throughnnDon't give up; don't give innWhen you're the only one.nI am here nownIf you ever need a hand.nnOpen your arms to me.nI'll help you if I can.nStep one is that you can see.nI'm here to understand you.nUnbroken, outspoken, unbroken.nTake my hand.nI am here; hear with all ears.nI'm here to understand.
