Take all my vicious words   And turn them into something good   Take all my preconceptions   And let the truth be understood   Take all my prized possessions   Leave only what I need   Take all my pieces of doubt   And let me be what's underneath      Courage is when you're afraid,   But you keep on moving anyway   Courage is when you're in pain,   But you keep on living anyway      We all have excuses why   Living in fear something in us dies   Like a bird with broken wings   It's not how high he flies,   But the song he sings      Courage is when you're afraid,   But you keep on moving anyway   Courage is when you're in pain,   But you keep on living anyway      It's not how many times you've been knocked down   It's how many times you get back up      Courage is when you've lost your way,   But you find your strength anyway   Courage is when you're afraid   Courage is when it all seems grey   Courage is when you make a change,   And you keep on living anyway      You keep on moving anyway   You keep on giving anyway   You keep on loving anyway
