Brave Man Lyrics

Brave Man lyrics

Once there was a brave man

Who looked a lot like me

Who fought against injustice

And struggled to be free

And it sometimes makes me shudder

To think of him

Looking down at me

At the way that I squander my pride

And the things he left to me



But I have his eyes

I have his smile

I had a head start

But it's too late

They've caught me now



And I wish that I could be

Half as brave as you

The things you felt then

I know, I feel them too



Once there was a brave man

Wh knew just what to do

I'll never know another

But my son, my son... he'll know one too



And he'll have his eyes

He'll have his smile

He'll have a head start

And they'll never catch him

He's gonna run for miles and miles and miles



And I hope that he

Can be half as brave as you

The things you felt then,

I know, he'll feel them too



He's gonna feel them too

The things you felt then

I'm feeling

He's gonna feel them too



Once there was a brave man
