Brave

I remember you on Park Avenue

When your mother brought you through to the living room

I was only five and you were an only child

And that's when I decided I would gladly die for you

'Cause you're my world

Kills me to think all that you have endured

Oh, Lord

It's much too young at 24

Three years of hell you stood on trial for your heart

And that's just the start

'Cause I know you cry in the middle of nights

Don't go downtown 'cause you're scared of the lights, I know

I can see it in your eyes

And I know that it took a little piece of your life

But the way you fought and the way you fight so bold

And now you'll never walk alone

Hoo-ooh

Hoo-ooh

Oh, the lifeless faces

The lives you're saving

Hoo-ooh

Hoo-ooh

But my heart is breaking

It's hard to see you so, so brave

Remember when we were kids

That time you bust your lip

Well you showed no fear and that never changed throughout the years

When the jury gave the guilty charge

I saw your face and you were the light in the dark

Yes you are

Yeah, and you were much too young to be falling apart

Now all your fears are standing behind bars

And that's just the start

'Cause I know you cry in the middle of nights

Don't go downtown 'cause you're scared of the lights, I know

I can see it in your eyes

And I know that it took a little piece of your life

But the way you fought and the way you fight so bold

And now you'll never walk alone

Hoo-ooh

Hoo-ooh

Oh, the lifeless faces

The lives you're saving

Hoo-ooh

Hoo-ooh

But my heart is breaking

It's hard to see you so, so brave

(so brave, so brave, so brave, so brave)

(so brave, so brave, so brave, so brave)

(so brave, so brave, so brave)

(ah, so brave)
