Should the sunrise be at your back
Today, or for a spell
Won't you carry on?
Let those on the shoreline
Seeing their truth for the first time
Have their realizations
Know
If you're facing darkest unknowns
Light can only follow you
I live
On a little vintage street
In a little sunny home
With a little strapping kid
Where the biggest courage looms
For the biggest of ideals
At the biggest point in time
I live
Reluctant to berth
Determined to tread
With bronzed, coppered skin
And hanging within
The cast, iron heart
Forged just for your Hand
That Hope
From East to West
Proved up
Makes dry land
Now you lovely one
Think aloud courageous thoughts
Don’t neglect to feel
You Awoke from deep
To tell me you’re Not afraid
It is my turn now
The Story that is
And the courage to write It
Are not optional
Rising to courage
Convinced I will see her
Lo, I have seen her
Yet was not convinced
This piece of all me
I lift up and revere
Dug from the deep
Covered in mourning
I am most proud of
I hold it high here now
Shining before you
It is the me that is happy
For the happy in you
He’s not afraid to belt it out
I think that’s the distinction
And the tone of his courage
Spraying through the status quo
Is all we were ever born to know
