On the Abstract of Being Brave

In acceptance of things I can't change In defying the way things are What's to lose, what's to gain Either way, I must be brave It's the kick to get shit done Take the plunge for what you want The underdog against all odds More than glory is what it's for Regret in the comatose when the timer ticks to zero While fortune favors the bold Brace to be brave With clenched fists and a roaring heart I'll face my desire Or disaster, and I will be brave It's not confidence - see my hands quake And the deepest breaths I take Oblivion's a step away I numb myself from fear and pain I've made my share of mistakes Try and fail, I felt fear On the abstract of being brave Is being human, being afraid? Confront the consequence when the going's getting rough Well, you know I've got guts Brace to be brave With clenched fists and a roaring heart I'll face my desire Or disaster, and I will be Brave to be brave With clenched fists and a roaring heart I'll face my desire Or disaster, and I will be brave Stare down the eye of the storm, run to the fire, endure the flood Lean in to kiss as pulses race Fear of futures and regret - steel your nerves, take the risk And chase the chance to seize the day Either way, I must be brave Whichever way how this shakes On the abstract of being brave Is being human being afraid Either way, I must be brave Even through heartbreak On the abstract of being brave I'm pretty human, being afraid
