Brave

Brave - Nichole Nordeman

The gate is wide

The road is paved to moderation

The crowd is kind and quick to pull you in

Welcome to the middle ground

It's safe and sound and

Until now it's where I've been

Cuz it's been fear

That ties me down to everything

But it's been love Your love

That cuts the strings

So long status quo

I think I've just let go

You make me wanna be brave

The way it always was

It's no longer good enough

You make me wanna be brave

Brave brave

I am small

And I speak when I'm spoken to

But I am willing to risk it all

To say Your name

Just Your name and I'm ready to go

Even ready to fall

Wided-eyed

Take this fowl compromise

Why did I

Try to keep it all inside

So long status quo

I think I just let go

You make me want to be brave

The way it always was

Is no longer good enough

You make me want to be brave

Brave brave

I've never known a fire

That didn't begin with a flame

And every storm will start

With just a drop of rain

But if You believe in me

That changes everything

So long I'm gone

So long status quo

I think I just let go

You make me want to be brave

I want to be brave

The way it always was

Is no longer good enough

You make me want to be brave

Brave brave brave
