Braver Than We Are

Sometimes it's the night
And the way it seems to cry
And whisper terrifying secrets in your ear
Sometimes it's the day
And the sun has got no mercy
Lighting up and burning everything that's in it's way

There are times I've got to run
Times I've got to hide
Things I've left undone
Things I cast aside
So many things to try
So many things denied
If I ever tell you the truth
I'm scared that you'd leave me
I need the proof
That you would believe me

You think I fly like an angel without any tears
Higher and higher above the world and all its fears

Everybody's ready to fly
But the storms are never so very far
And you think my life is shining like a star
But the fears are never very far

We always seem so much braver than we ever are
We always dream we'd be braver but we never are
Let's run away
Let's go so far

Sometimes it's the flesh
And the way it seems to yearn
For the magic of a single perfect touch

Sometimes it's the soul
And it's waiting for salvation
You know when you get it there can never be too much

There are times I've got to run
Times I've got to hide
Things I've left undone
Things I cast aside
So many things to try
So many things denied
If I ever tell you the truth
Would you ever believe me
Show me the proof
I'm so scared that you'd leave me

You think I fly like an angel without any care
Higher and higher as if I'm breathing sacred air

Everybody's ready to fly
But the storms are never so very far
And you think my life is shining like a star
But the fears are never very far
The nightmare's never very far

We always seem so much braver than we ever are
We always dream we'd be braver but we never are
Let's run away
Let's go too far

Say a prayer...

Say a prayer for those who crawl
Say a prayer for those who run
Say a prayer so all will know
There's a better life to come

Say a prayer for those alone
Say a prayer for those apart
All the golden boys and girls
The crusaders of the heart

Say a prayer for all the lost
Say a prayer for the unborn
Say a prayer for all the young
It takes a fire to keep them warm

Say a prayer for those obsessed
Say a prayer for those enslaved
Say a prayer to beat the drums
From the cradle to the grave

Say a prayer for all the saints
Say a prayer for all the sins
Let the dancing never end
Let the future now begin

Say a prayer to all the gods
Some are near and some are far
Say a prayer to all the gods
Make us braver than we are

Say a prayer to all the gods
Some are near and some are far
Say a prayer to all the gods
Make us braver than we are

How far is too far baby?
Come on - take me, take me
We're crusaders of the heart
And going all the way is just a start

How far is too far?
How far is too far baby?
Take me deep inside your heart
And going all the way is just a start

Say a prayer...

Going all the way is just a start
Make us braver than we are

There's no such thing as too far
I've got to be where you are
Going all the way is just a start
The crusaders of the heart

There's no such thing as too far
I've got to be where you are
Going all the way is just a start
Make us braver than we are

Make us braver than we are
Going all the way is just a start
Make us braver than we are
There's no such thing as too far
I've got be where you are
Going all the way is just a start
Make us braver than we are

... higher and higher...
