Lyrics

Brave Man

See these scars of these years gone by They don't hurt me, just remind me I can cry All that I know is we'll slip as we go Like dancers hold the bar across the wall Draw up the horses, spears at the ready I'm not afraid to fight the war I'm a brave man Running through the rain I'm a brave man Not scared to feel the pain I'm a brave man Follow me alone Not afraid to tumble Not afraid to fall I'm a brave man I met strangers to become my friends, mm-hm Together we'll shine on this battlefield, oh-oo-oo Draw up the horses, spears at the ready I'm not afraid to fight the war I'm a brave man Running through the rain I'm a brave man Not scared to feel the pain I'm a brave man Follow me alone Not afraid to tumble Not afraid to fall All my reasons and my tears they spill on this fake farm Aches and pains each took it out there bursting out these pores Melted wax on fireplaces pumping through my heart I don't need this misery anymore I'm a brave man Running through the rain I'm a brave man Not scared to feel the pain I'm a brave man Follow me alone Not afraid to tumble Not afraid to fall
