Brave Lyrics by Nichole Nordeman

Recollection - The Best of Nichole Nordeman

2005

[Verse 1]
The gate is wide, the road is paved in 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
[Pre-Chorus 1]
'Cause it's been fear that ties me down to everything
But it's been love, your love, that cuts the strings
[Chorus]
So long... status quo
I think I just let go
You make me wanna be brave
The way it always was
Is no longer good enough
You make me wanna be brave
Brave, brave
[Verse 2]
I am small and I speak when I'm spoken to
But I am willing to risk it all
I say Your name, just Your name
And I'm ready to jump
Even ready to fall
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Why did I take this vow of compromise?
Why did I try to keep it all inside?
[Chorus]
So long... status quo
I think I just let go
You make me wanna be brave
The way it always was
Is no longer good enough
You make me wanna be brave
Brave, brave
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
So long... status quo
I think I just let go
You make me wanna be brave
I wanna be brave
The way it always was
Is no longer good enough
You make me wanna be brave
Brave, brave, brave
