Step on Me

They hide in the shadows,
Waiting for me.
My eyes look around,
Searching for safety.
My eyes look around,
Searching for safety.

I tell myself to run,
As voices come closer.
Slow footsteps behind me,
Taunting whispers.
Slow footsteps behind me,
Taunting whispers.

I wish I could fight back, telling them,
Leave me alone.
They trip me, push me, call me names,
Trying to step on me.
I wish I could fight back, telling them,
Leave me alone.
They trip me, push me, call me names,
Trying to step on me.

They can see the dread,
On my face.
Prowling the sidewalk,
Loving the chase.
Prowling the sidewalk,
Loving the chase.

Chorus

Looking for trouble,
Their smiles are bent.
I'm screaming inside,
But surface silent.
I'm screaming inside,
But surface silent.


They try to put me down,
But they are wrong.
I tell myself,
That I am strong.
They aren't worth getting upset over,
I am strong.
They aren't worth getting upset over,
I am strong.

Chorus

You bullies,
Just leave, leave me alone

Trip me, push me, call me names
Trying to step on me.
But on this walk of life,
Nobody will ever step,
Step on me.
