Brave
You can be amazingYou can turn a phrase into a weapon or a drugYou can be the outcastor be the backlash of somebody's lack of loveOr you can start speaking upNothing's gonna hurt you the way that words dowhen they settle 'neath your skinKept on the inside and no sunlightSometimes a shadow winsBut I wonder what would happen if you
Say what you wanna sayAnd let the words fall outHonestly, I wanna see you be bravewith what you want to sayAnd let the words fall outHonestly, I wanna see you be braveI just wanna see youI wanna see you be brave
Everybody's been thereEverybody's been stared down by the enemyFallen for the fear and done some disappearingBowed down to the mightyDon't run, stop holding your tongueMaybe there's a way out of the cage where you liveMaybe one of these days you can let the light inShow me how big your brave is
[Chorus]
And since your history of silence won't do you any goodDid you think it would?Let your words be anything but emptyWhy don't you tell them the truth?
[Chorus]
