Stand Up (to Bullies) Children's Song Lyrics and Sound Clip Caroline Figiel and Danny Jones

It was a dark day, when they strolled into school The kids were nervous and felt like fools ‘Cause everyone knew one thing was clear With bullies around, trouble was near

Nobody spoke -- afraid of a scene Then this big bad bunch began to do their thing

Chorus: What makes a bully pick a fight? What makes a rattlesnake coil and strike? It really doesn’t matter, the poison you choose With plans in your pocket, you’ll know what to do Stand up, stand up for yourself

No kid was safe from these tough guys The bullies picked on ‘em, teased ‘em ‘till they cried It wasn’t long before their pride was gone The bullies just laughed though they knew they were wrong

From out of nowhere the smallest kid came Nobody knew him, not even his name.

Chorus: What makes a bully pick a fight? What makes a rattlesnake coil and strike? It really doesn’t matter, the poison you choose With plans in your pocket, you’ll know what to do Stand up, stand up for yourself

These mean guys laughed and ripped the kid’s shirt But this little kid refused to be hurt He stood and looked ‘em straight in the eye Daring those bullies to even come try

There was no way they could hurt his pride If he would find his strength from inside

Chorus

Something happened no one could expect By finding courage, he’d found his respect Stand up, stand up for yourself.

Chorus

Find a song or poem, one of each, or several songs and poems that relate to the theme or subject of your novel. Write out the words/lyrics and then explain how it or they relate to your novel. Or you could write a song or poems and then explain them.

I think that this song relates to my book word-nerd because Ambrose was bullied ever where he went. His mom finally said that he can be home schooled. The phrase "The kids were nervous and felt like fools" relates to Ambrose the most because the bullies embarrass and stupid.
