Truth Be Told

Teach me how to be brave in my last day
 You grew up in a broken home and your mother said the porch was your bed
 Manipulating your father into confinement
 Just so they could cut the hairs from your head
 They tried to steal your strength and beauty away
 Forcing betrayal of a man I barely knew
 Abandoned and thrown between white walls
 But they could never-
 They will never break you
 When they put the gun to your head
 An angel stood between you and the trigger
 When they said your breath was worth nothing
 You made them listen to the voice of a leader
 Teach me how to be brave in my last day
 You awoke to empty hands, so you worked them to the barest of bones
 You were found knocked out with blood on the floor
 But they could never-
 They will never break you
 When they put the gun to your head
 An angel stood between you and the trigger
 When they said your breath was worth nothing
 You made them listen to the voice of a leader
 Teach me how to be brave even in my dying day
 The truth could never be taken from your lips
 The shortness of breath you were clutching your chest
 The world went black but for only a moment
 You opened your eyes and they locked to mine
 Never afraid, you were never broken
 I see now as you're reaching out,
 You never let a second pass away
 Unbreakable reflection of grace,
 Teach me how to be brave in my last day
