Be Brave

In a basement of an empty house

I slept on the floor like a vagrant

I braved a Minnesota winter night

Drove to a movie feelin' lonely

As I thought my heart out by the lights

Of the silver screan

I was unaware that you were there In the dark

A silhouette was climbing up the stairs

And what I thought in the parking lot

Was like I just wanna know your name

I drove away with not much to say

But in my hand I held the paper bird

And written on it were the words

"Be brave !"

Wild flower knew I wasn’t well

But on the kitchen floor I got better again

I grabbed my keys and drove toward a star

And there I was understood for the first time in my life

‘Cause that’s when I was introduced to serendipity

I knew it when you showed up again

In the snow yeah I was always told

Your heart is where you’re home

And what I thought in the coffee shop

Was like “The last eight hours was a dream”

I drove away with not much to say

But in my hand I held a paper bird

And written on it were the words

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

"I'll be brave"

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

"I'll be brave"

And in my mind

After all this time I think

"Ain't life beautiful and strange ?"

I’m blown away

With no words to say

‘Cause I’ll forever be amazed

How I learned the meaning of ‘be brave’

Be brave

Be brave

Be brave
