The Brave

[Intro] Hey Oh, oh, yeah Oh [Verse 1] For every lonely voice that thinks it goes unheard For every act of kindness unrewarded in this world For every song that's sung in hopes of bringing change For every carer watching a loved one slowly fade [Chorus] I call you the brave, oh I call you the brave, mm [Verse 2] For everyone that loves despite the rising tide And pays no mind to that angry voice inside For everyone that sees a stranger as a friend For every heart that offers comfort, bread, and shade [Chorus] I call you the brave, yeah, yeah I call you the brave, uh-huh [Bridge] When the tides of war and the gangs of fear Have the harlots in full swing And the quiet desperation now is deafening When the overfed and unworthy heads Are all fighting for the crown Any time you're throwing dirt, you're losing ground [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] For every hospital worker on that lonely graveyard shift For every firefighter in his turnout gear that understands what if For every tired parent that finds hope along the way For every teacher that gets those children through the day Through the day [Chorus] I call you the brave, oh I call you the brave, oh Ah, come on [Outro] For those that left us and cannot stand (Those that cannot stand) For those that offer a helping hand (Oh, yeah) For those that comfort and those that save (Those that save) I call you the brave For paying forward at any price (Paying forward at any price) For your hard work and sacrifice (Hard work and sacrifice) For every drop of blood you gave I call you the brave For those that left us and cannot stand (Oh) For those that offer a helping hand (Ooh) For those that comfort and those that save I call you the brave For paying forward at any price For your hard work and sacrifice (I call you the brave) For every drop of blood you gave I call you the brave
