Courage

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 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, I'm 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

I'm not as pretty as the populars
Talked all night on the bottom stairs
We 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 aways 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 that 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 in my rhymes
And my kids are soaring, how time flies
My eyesight 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
E'rybody knows, ain't no I in team
From now on we all shine like diamond rings
And we won't stop 'til the whole world sings
A song about hope and the love God brings

I told them 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 them we all can, Fern

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 that 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 find the courage when you left love there inside
Other 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 that gave it all away
It's love to give it anyway
So swallow the courage
