Lyrics

Brave for You

In all I know
And what I've done
I take you along
Though you're not here
I can feel you there
I take you along

And when I'm scared
I imagine you're there
Telling me to be brave

So I will be brave for you
Stand on a stage for you
Do the things that I'm afraid to do
I know you want me to
I will be brave
I know you want me to

I see things change
And now watch them grow
And I know you do too
When the things don't make sense
I have courage
Because of you

And when I'm scared
I imagine you're there
Telling me to be brave

So I will be brave for you
Stand on a stage for you
Do the things that I'm afraid to do
I know you want me to

I will be brave
I will be brave
Do the things that I'm afraid to do
I know you want me to

There are things I wish I didn't know
I try my best to let them go
