Courage Is...

How was I to know what was going on

In your mind, and why did I hear

Of it from our common friend?

How was I to deal with a feeling so strong?

Courage is not to live without fear;

Courage is to live despite fear! 

Did you think you could ever really be

Happy, if you lived in fear constantly?

Being courageous, being successful

Not exclusive, definitely! 

Courage is not to live without fear;

Courage is to live despite fear! 

Wonder why you couldn't come to me!

Now I wonder why you wouldn't

Talk to me, at the very first signs!

Wonder why you waited!

Courage is not to live without fear;

Courage is to live despite fear! 

Courage is not to live without fear;

Courage is to live despite fear! 

Courage is not to...
