Brave

You can be amazing
You can turn a phrase into a weapon or a drug
You can be the outcast
Or be the backlash
Of somebody's lack of love

Or you can start speaking up
Nothing's going to hurt you the way that words do
When they settle beneath your skin
Kept on the inside and no sunlight
Sometimes a shadow wins

But I wonder what would happen if you
Say what you want to say
And let the words fall out
Honestly, I want to see you be brave
With what you want to say
And let the words fall out
Honestly, I want to see you be brave

I just want to see you
I just want to see you
I just want to see you
I want to see you be brave I just want to see you
I just want to see you
I just want to see you
I want to see you be brave

Everybody's been there
Everybody's been stared down by the enemy
Fallen for the fear and done some disappearing
Bow down to the mighty
Don't run, stop holding your tongue
Maybe there's a way out of the cage where you live
Maybe one of these days you can let the light in
Show me how big your bravery is

Say what you want to say
And let the words fall out
Honestly, I want to see you be brave

With what you want to say
And let the words fall out
Honestly, I want to see you be brave

Innocence, your history of silence
Won't do you any good
Did you think it would?
Let your words be anything but empty
Why don't you tell them the truth?

Say what you wanna say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I want to see you be brave With what you want to say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I want to see you be brave

I just want to see you
I just want to see you
I just want to see you
I want to see you be brave

I just want to see you
I just want to see you
I just want to see you
I want to see you be brave

I just want to see you
I just want to see you
I just want to see you
I want to see you be brave

I just want to see you
I just want to see you
I just want to see you
