Somewhere under the radar

[charliegirl]

It seems like every board I go to lately people are worried about their kids being bullied and teased and treated badly by kids and teachers alike. At some point today I started singing this under my breath so I thought I would share it with you. Its a rip off of Over the rainbow and about how our kids just would like to get through a day without being noticed or belittled in some way.
**************

Somewhere under the radar
Way down low
There's a land that I dreamed of
away from the teacher's eye.

Somewhere under the radar
Skies are blue,
And the dreams that I won't be teased
Really do come true.

Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where my fears are far
Behind me.
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
and encouragement flows free-
That's where you'll find me.

Somewhere under the radar
I can be me.
If other kids are praised
why can't I have self esteem?

If other kids are praised
Beyond the rainbow
Why, can't I be too?

Oh, that is sad.
