Courage Is...

Take all my vicious words
 And turn them into something good
 Take all my preconceptions
 And let the truth be understood
 Take all my prized possessions
 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
 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 find 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
