Lyrics from “If I Were Brave” by Jana Stanfield: I am brave!
What would I do if I knew that I could not fail? If I believed, would the wind always fill up my sail?
If I were brave I’d walk the razor’s edge where fools and dreamer’s dare to tread,
And never lose faith, even when losing my way. What step would I take today, if I were brave?
What would I do today if I were brave? What if we’re all meant to do what we secretly dream? … Like the mighty oak sleeps in the heart of a seed, are there miracles in you and me?
If I refuse to listen to the voice of fear, would the voice of courage whisper in my ear?
What would I do today if I were brave? I am brave!
