Make It Right 

​

I was out at recess, just me and my best friend

The new kid interrupts, and I think my fun will end...

So I call her stupid, I say she’s fat and dumb

“Go away. Leave us alone. I wish you’d never come!”

ALL: Sure enough, without a doubt, in the end, the truth comes out….

 

CHORUS: I talked about what happened

What I had been thinking

Who was affected

and how it affected them

So now, what can I do?

Since it’s me that has harmed you

Gotta fix the damage done

It’s up to me, yeah I’m the one

To make it right (Make it right)

Make it right (Make it right)

I’ve got a job to do

I will make it right with you.

Make it right (Make it right)

Make it right (Make it right)

I’ve got a job to do

​

Got an A for participation, ‘cause I always had something to say

Got an F for cooperation, my way’s the only way

I didn’t care about your learning, I showed no empathy

I cared about who was looking, and paying attention to me

ALL: Sure enough, without a doubt, in the end, the truth comes out….

​

You were the target, I sought repeatedly

I came after you, so aggressively

With each passing day, I more clearly see

Each time that I hurt you, I was really hurting me

ALL: Sure enough, without a doubt, in the end, the truth comes out….

​

I always paid attention, to the color of your skin

I judged you in a glance, that’s how I would begin

I’m sure that you observed it, in what I did and said

I sorted us by color, and put my kind ahead

ALL: Sure enough, without a doubt, in the end, the truth comes out….
