The first day of class, they   call out your name   and you have to reply   even if you're shy.   And if you choose to   pretend you didn't hear   They'd think that you weren't there   And they'd keep on breathing air   without you.   CHORUS   Cowards never win   They're torn up in the wind   And everyone forgets to ask their name   If you wonder why   people don't want to die   It's cause they're too scared to deal with their blame   If you sit through   a wedding now and then   You'll feel the heaviness in the room   rest on the bride and groom   And when they say they   understand the vows   each one gives a life   to become man and wife   BRIDGE   Every naive dream we have   doesn't always please us   But up on every cross you bear   is the long awaited Jesus   The last day of class they   call out your name   And if you don't reply   They'll all just wonder why   CHORUS   Cowards never win   But when they feel the wind   They get the chance to take a brand new name   So don't believe the lie   that there's no reason you should try   Because there's a way to deal with your blame
