Courage Is...

Courage Is…
By: The Strange Familiar

Take all my viscous words and turn them into something good
Take all my preconceptions and let the truth be understood
Take all my prized possessions and leave only what I need
Take all my pieces of doubt and let me be what's underneath

Courage is when you're afraid
but you keep on moving anyway
Courage is when you're in pain
but you keep on living anyway

We all have excuses why living in fear something in us dies
Like a bird with broken wings, it’s not how high he flies but the song he sings

Courage is when you're afraid
but you keep on moving anyway
Courage is when you're in pain
but you keep on living anyway
you keep on living anyway

It's not how many times you've been knocked down
It's how many times you get back up

Courage is when you've lost your way
but you found your strength anyway
Courage is when you're afraid
Courage is when it all seems grey
Courage is when you make a change
and you keep on living anyway

You keep on moving anyway
You keep on giving anyway
You keep on loving anyway
