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
