Shake the dust/ be yourself everyone else is taken

This is for the ones who are forgotten
This is for the ones off in their own world
This is for the popular kids who bullied them
For the ones who are left and for the ones who are gone
For the lonely ones who eat by themselves
And the ones who are left on the streets

This is for the ones in the army
For the ones who sit by themselves
For the single moms left to take care of their children
For the ones who are invisible to everyone else
Be yourself, everyone else is taken

This is for the poor
Who cannot get a job because of their looks
Be yourself, everyone else is taken
For the invisible that can't be seen
Be yourself, eveyrone else is taken
For the bus drivers
For the garbage man
For the mail lady
For the UPS driver
Be yourself, everyone else is taken

This is for the people who want to be seen
For the ones who are forgotten
The ones who can't be stood up for
For the ones who talk to themselves
And then figure they are all alone
Speaking but no one listens
Don't be afraid to speak because you weren't spoken to
Everyone is there to listen
And the ones trying to be nice will always give a response
Be you and you won't be forgotten
Always know you have someone
This is for the people who keep getting forgotten
For the people who don't know they're there
For the people who have no money to pay
So they're forgotten
For the well know and forgotten
Everyones theirself and there is no way of changing
Be who you want to be
Not what others want you to be
