Courage Was Always There

Verse 1 They call you cowardly lion, Like they know the storm inside, But I’ve seen your golden heart Trying not to run and hide. You roar softer than your fear, But honey, I can hear it clear, There’s bravery beneath your mane, Walking barefoot through the rain. Pre-Chorus You don’t need a wizard Behind some curtain of smoke, You don’t need a medal For the fire in your throat. It was written in your stars, In the map you carried far, You were never empty, love, You just forgot who you are. Verse 2 Tin hearts rust and scarecrows bend, Every soul needs helping hands, No one finds their way alone Through enchanted, haunted lands. Let the poppies lose their power, Let the fear fade by the hour, There’s a home inside your chest Where your weary spirit rests. Pre-Chorus You don’t need emerald towers To tell you you’re divine, Your birth chart held the answer In its ancient, starry lines. Let the walls around you fall, Let the kind voices call, You were born with sacred nerve, You were born to stand up tall. Chorus Follow the road, follow the light, Even trembling feet can still get it right. Soften your mind, let your heart come through, Let somebody love the lost parts of you. You’ve had courage all along, Even when you thought it was gone, Cowardly lion, don’t be scared, The courage was always there. Bridge There’s no curtain thick enough To hide the truth from your soul, No wicked wind can break you When your spirit learns to grow. Take my hand through the thunder, Let the whole sky split apart, You don’t have to roar to prove it, You just have to trust your heart. Final Chorus Follow the road, follow the light, Even shaking knees can still join the fight. Open your mind, let the helpers near, Love can be louder than every fear. You’ve had courage all along, It’s been beating like a song, Cowardly lion, breathe the air, The courage was always there. Outro No wizard, no crown, no spell in the air, Just a brave little heart Learning someone cares.
