Braver Than We Are

Sometimes it's the night

And the way it seems to cry

And whisper terrifying secrets in your ear

Sometimes it's the day

And the sun has got no mercy

Lighting up and burning everything that's in it's way

There are times I've got to run

Times I've got to hide

Things I've left undone

Things I cast aside

So many things to try

So many things denied

If I ever tell you the truth

I'm scared that you'd leave me

I need the proof

That you would believe me

You think I fly like an angel without any tears

Higher and higher above the world and all its fears

Everybody's ready to fly

But the storms are never so very far

And you think my life is shining like a star

But the fears are never very far

We always seem so much braver than we ever are

We always dream we'd be braver but we never are

Let's run away

Let's go so far

Sometimes it's the flesh

And the way it seems to yearn

For the magic of a single perfect touch

Sometimes it's the soul

And it's waiting for salvation

You know when you get it there can never be too much

There are times I've got to run

Times I've got to hide

Things I've left undone

Things I cast aside

So many things to try

So many things denied

If I ever tell you the truth

Would you ever believe me

Show me the proof

I'm so scared that you'd leave me

You think I fly like an angel without any care

Higher and higher as if I'm breathing sacred air

Everybody's ready to fly

But the storms are never so very far

And you think my life is shining like a star

But the fears are never very far

The nightmare's never very far

We always seem so much braver than we ever are

We always dream we'd be braver but we never are

Let's run away

Let's go too far

Say a prayer...

Say a prayer for those who crawl

Say a prayer for those who run

Say a prayer so all will know

There's a better life to come

Say a prayer for those alone

Say a prayer for those apart

All the golden boys and girls

The crusaders of the heart

Say a prayer for all the lost

Say a prayer for the unborn

Say a prayer for all the young

It takes a fire to keep them warm

Say a prayer for those obsessed

Say a prayer for those enslaved

Say a prayer to beat the drums

From the cradle to the grave

Say a prayer for all the saints

Say a prayer for all the sins

Let the dancing never end

Let the future now begin

Say a prayer to all the gods

Some are near and some are far

Say a prayer to all the gods

Make us braver than we are

Say a prayer to all the gods

Some are near and some are far

Say a prayer to all the gods

Make us braver than we are

How far is too far baby?

Come on - take me, take me

We're crusaders of the heart

And going all the way is just a start

How far is too far?

How far is too far baby?

Take me deep inside your heart

And going all the way is just a start

Say a prayer...

Going all the way is just a start

Make us braver than we are

There's no such thing as too far

I've got to be where you are

Going all the way is just a start

The crusaders of the heart

There's no such thing as too far

I've got to be where you are

Going all the way is just a start

Make us braver than we are

Make us braver than we are

Going all the way is just a start

Make us braver than we are

There's no such thing as too far

I've got be where you are

Going all the way is just a start

Make us braver than we are

... higher and higher...
