Atticus Lyrics

Some of our classmates

Were wearing pink duct tape

Silently roaming the halls

The cool kids were laughing

Insecurity passing it off

As a joke not a wrong

And Atticus I didn't know

What you suffered

And I wish I would've been kinder

All of the boys down the hallway

Just serve as reminder

We all need a place to belong

But just so you know

I wouldn't change you

I don't want a different you

I see how you wrestle

In love and in earnest

I see how you strive

To follow your purpose

I wish they all could see you

Like I do 'cause Atticus

The world needs you

I wish I could carry

The pain that you've buried

I wish I'd stood up for you

I hope you'll forgive me

For the way I've been living

I don't always know what to do

But I believe Jesus is

More than a zeitgeist

And I believe someday

He'll make every wrong right

I believe we'll be there

Holding our hands out 'cause

Oh how we all need a place to belong

And just so you know

I wouldn't change you

I don't want a different you

I see how you wrestle

In love and in earnest

I see how you strive

To follow your purpose

I wish they all could see you

Like I do 'cause Atticus oh

The world needs you

The world needs you

You taught me grace

You taught me patience

Empathy, compassion

Love and forbearance

I hope you know that I

I want to be more like you

'Cause I see how you wrestle

In love and in earnest

I see how you strive

To follow your purpose

I wish they all could see you

Like I do 'cause Atticus

The world needs you
