They are in control of Their content and volume They can spread love universally Their intent can increase cruelty They are powerful to a higher degree Their gift is not to be taken in vain They are us, they are you, and they are we Their capability can beautify our world They are counting on us to nurture Their ability to mend what. has. been. broken.
I’ve been singing this song around the house and absolutely love it… the music, the lyrics, the message,
and, of course, Sara’s awesome voice. Instead of writing a poem, using this song as inspiration,
I chose to post the lyrics, as they are truly powerful
and speak for themselves.
(I also deleted some of the repetitious background verses.)
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 gonna hurt you the way that words do And they settle ‘neath your skin Kept on the inside and no sunlight Sometimes a shadow wins But I wonder what would happen if you
Say what you wanna say And let the words fall out Honestly I wanna see you be brave
With what you want to say And let the words fall out Honestly I wanna 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 brave is
Say what you wanna say And let the words fall out Honestly I wanna see you be brave
With what you want to say And let the words fall out Honestly I wanna 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 wanna see you be brave
With what you want to say And let the words fall out Honestly I wanna see you be brave
Not only are the lyrics empowering,
but the music has me dancing!
I hope you enjoyed as much as I did.
Are you ready to be “brave?” 🙂
