How many times

Have you never had the courage to speak up

Never had the courage to say

The words burned into your heart

You could be amazing

You could be stronger

You could be the change in someone’s life

But you never say what you want to say

I wan to see you be brave

I want to see the words spring froth

From the core of your being

Let your truth spring froth

Like a bullet from a gun

Like an arrow from a bow

Don’t run stop holding your tongue

Show me how brave you can be

Let the words fall out I want to see you be brave

Why don’t you tell them the truth you hide

Behind platitudes

And fear

Show the world what you believe

Shout from the rooftops

Scream into an endless void if you must

Just be brave And let the words fall out where they may
