Every Brave Person Is Afraid
© 2019 Jeff Jackson
Every brave person is afraid
Everyone is scared of the mistakes that they have made
Every brave person is afraid
Everybody’s got a list of debts they haven’t paid
I know
You have to smile thru gritted teeth
All while
Your beating heart is cheating you of peace
Every brave person is afraid
Everybody’s got an inner damsel they need to save
Every brave person is afraid
Everyone around you is fighting wars they can’t explain
Now hold on
Stop saying you’re going
straight to hell
When I know
You’ve been there more times than you can tell
Every brave person is afraid
Everybody’s worried that we’ll all forget their name
Every brave person is afraid
Everybody’s cashing chips and trying to play the game
Well I’m in
Though I hold just as much
fear as you
Say Amen
I’m a shade braver when I’m standing next to you
Might feel like a heart attack
But I’ll be the architect
Drawing plans...of...home
Every brave person is afraid
Every brave person is afraid
Every brave person is afraid
Every brave person is afraid
