Courage (feat. Tree Giants)

I wouldn't say it's overplayed to slow down, slow down

You found your place in the mystery when you said to me

I've finally begun to see what I'm meant to become

When I fall, I won't let go

When I find I'm standing in the fog, standing in the fog

Everything's fine or pretend to be

Let's get lost on an empty street

Let's go away and never come back here

I fell in love, I was not prepared

Not as pretty as the populars

Talked all night on the bottom stairs

Spoke about things only God would hear

Don't forget us and why you're here

Escape this place, that was all our prayers

Only come back on holidays

We don't chase girls who got away

I got a ways to go, but I'm not too far away

I'm not too far away

That's what I told my girl, I'm gone today

When I see my family, it's all okay

Bow our heads, lift our hands and pray

And thank God for another day

(Hold your head up)

Living it up, aren't you gonna give it up?

It's love that gave it anyway

It's hard to give it all away

So swallow the courage

(Hold your head up)

Living it up, aren't you gonna give it up?

It's love, you gave it all away

It's love to give it anyway

So swallow the courage

In my lifetime, I've been out of my right mind

With nothing left, no lifelines

Just wishful thinking and my rhymes

And my kids are soaring, how time flies

My eyesight's set way past the sky

'Cause I probably been on ten thousand flights

And the first five thousand, I was petrified

When you know God's real, you settle down

This song is nothing but motivation

In a time where real is a dying breed

Though there ain't none, me, I want unity

Everybody knows, ain't no "I" in team

From now on, we all shine like diamond rings

And we won't stop till the whole world sings

This song about hope and the love God brings

I tell 'em the plan's always been unify

We all fall short, it's just you and God

To me, this song is more than lines

'Cause I could've died like four times

But I didn't, so I know there's a plan

Difference is, this time, took the Lord by the hands

Deviate, no man, not part of the program

Now, please all stand and tell 'em we all can, affirm

(Hold your head up)

Living it up, aren't you gonna give it up?

It's love that gave it anyway

It's hard to give it all away

So swallow the courage

(Hold your head up)

Living it up, aren't you gonna give it up?

It's love, you gave it all away

It's love to give it anyway

So swallow the courage

I found the courage when I left love there in the stars

I'm coming back into the power alone

It's been a roller coaster

(Hold your head up)

You found your courage when you left love

There, inside of the person, can't even see who you are

It's been a roller coaster

(Hold your head up)

Living it up, aren't you gonna give it up?

It's love that gave it anyway

It's hard to give it all away

So swallow the courage

(Hold your head up)

Living it up, aren't you gonna give it up?

It's love, you gave it all away

It's love to give it anyway

So swallow the courage
