Courage
How brave the young man
His talent to use
How brave the young man
With nothing to lose
How brave the young girl
Giving it a whirl
No fear of any debt
With her parents safety net
Courage is courage with your life on the line
Giving up something you have built over time
Doing what’s right with no safety net
Making that call about that big bet
Hearing a yes when everyone says no
Taking the road down which no one will
Go.
Taking that step that no one will save
That is what it means to really be brave
