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 a burning faith
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
