You make me want to be brave...

To whom this may concern...and he knows who he is...

Brave Lyrics- Nicole Nordeman

The gate is wide The road is paved in moderation

The crowd is kind and quick to pull you in

Welcome to the middle ground You're safe and sound and

Until now it's where I've been

'Cause it's been fear that ties me down to everything

But it's been love, Your love, that cuts the strings

So long status quo I think I just let go

You make me want to be brave

The way it always was Is no longer good enough

You make me want to be brave

Brave, brave

I am small And I speak when I'm spoken to

But I am willing to risk it all I say Your name

Just Your name and I'm ready to jump

Even ready to fall...

Why did I take this vow of compromise?

Why did I try to keep it all inside?

So long status quo

I think I just let go

You make me want to be brave

The way it always was Is no longer good enough

You make me want to be brave

Brave, brave

I've never known a fire that didn't begin with a flame

Every storm will start with just a drop of rain

But if you believe in me That changes everything

So long, I'm gone

So long status quo I think I just let go

You make me want to be brave

I wanna be brave

The way it always was Is no longer good enough

You make me want to be brave

Brave, brave
