Heart of Courage

When conflict came you'd hold your tongue A lesson learned when you were young Today you broke the silence clear Stepping into what you feared With every word the past is fought Proving wrong what you were taught Now the weight of silence lifts And in its place new strength exists Each wound you've known each burden borne You're strong enough to face the storm And when the road's too hard to tread I'm here to help you stand instead I'm proud of the man you are Reaching out when it seems too hard This is the day we'll both remember The day your pain starts to surrender Your heart of courage shining through But we've still got work to do This is the start of something new Baby I'm so proud of you! We'll celebrate this turning page A journey toward a brighter stage We will face what's yet to come With a love steadfast and strong No more shadows holding tight Just courage to make it bright Together we'll rise with every dawn With each new step our bond grows strong Now every word you bravely say Is a light that guides our way Each moment adds another line To a story that's truly OURS this time I'm proud of the man you are Reaching out when it seems too hard This is the day we'll both remember The day your pain starts to surrender Your heart of courage shining through But we've still got work to do This is the start of something new Baby I'm so proud of you! For every time you felt so small For every fear WE'LL face them all With every step our story grows A love transformed that freely flows Through whispers of the past you'll tread To forge a future love instead In facing your past you'll reclaim your name And together we'll rise from the flame 'Cause I'm proud of the man you are Reaching out when it seems so hard! This is the day we'll both remember The day your pain starts to surrender Your heart of courage shining through But we've still got work to do This is the start of something true Baby I'm so proud of you This is the start of something true And Baby I'm so proud of you
