courage hidden underneath
layers of insecurities
attempts, opportunities left hanging
incomplete
Courage where have you gone
I'm staring a reflection of someone I've never seen

Wars unwon
soldier's gone a-wall
woke up that morning,
saw the rising sun
soul finally came up from below,
gasping for air
Took off his hat, put down his gun
grabbed his rosary and bible
and started running

Fear masks hope
wilderness, the unknown
shadows from the past
creep up on the coming day
oh to let go
Just let it go

courage hidden underneath
layers of insecurities
attempts, opportunities left hanging
incomplete
Courage where have you gone
I'm staring a reflection of someone I've never seen

Would everything crumble
come crashing down
Would my world stop existing
If I chose to put my weapon down
the fight is long and hard
so many unhealed scars
Courage,
I need you now

Restlessness fills my everyday
how long til I see my light
my salvation's rays of mercy
pouring out and over me
Everything makes sense when I'm with you
the war ends
battle's over
Courage has finally been renewed

courage hidden underneath
layers of insecurities
attempts, opportunities left hanging
incomplete
Courage where have you gone
I'm staring a reflection of someone I've never seen

And though words won’t ever suffice To communicate,  Clarify,  The peace I feel in giving you  This wrangled, broken heart of mine I shall do my best to show you What those scattered, simple note’s Song sounds like Yes, you’re the Beauty that keeps me reaching  The smile beneath my tears The hidden road pointed out to me after all these years; Your imperfections only add  To the light reflecting from your smile Your flaws -the cracks through which His Love shines  You’re the hallelujah  In my song’s reprise
