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 when it all seems grey 

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
