When I was about thirteen years old or so,
I was walking through the hallway to class
When the school bully stood in front of me
And he absolutely refused to let me pass.
I tried to move to the left, then to the right.
He just laughed and stepped that way, too.
It was that moment when it dawned on me
That there was no way around but through.
So I kicked the bully right where it hurts.
He let out a yell and I watched him fall.
After that, he gave me plenty of room
When he saw me coming down the hall.
I really should try to remember his name,
Maybe send a Hallmark "thank you" card
For without the lesson he taught that day,
My life so far might have been very hard.
You see, a big bully doesn't have to be human.
It's whatever keeps you and your dream apart.
So much talent is forever lost to the world
Because of the bullies that hide in the heart.
So whatever it is that stands in your way
And keeps you from living a life that's true,
Remember the lesson I learned from the bully.
My friend, there's no way around but through.
