The Knight Who Was Brave

Verse 1: He rode through fields of blood and stone, A hero forged in steel, With every battle he had won, His legend grew, unreal. They called him brave, they sang his name, A knight without a fear, For every foe that came his way, He faced with steady spear. Chorus: But courage isn't found in peace, Nor in a fearless heart, It’s in the trembling of the soul, When all begins to part. He thought he knew what bravery meant, But he'd yet to truly see, That courage comes when fear is felt, And you stand, or choose to flee. Verse 2: One fateful day, the sky grew dark, A shadow crossed his path, A beast so fierce, with flames and claws, It bore a dragon’s wrath. His heart, it froze, his breath grew thin, A fear he’d never known, And before he knew, his feet had turned, And from the beast, he'd flown. Chorus: But courage isn't found in peace, Nor in a fearless heart, It’s in the trembling of the soul, When all begins to part. He thought he knew what bravery meant, But he'd yet to truly see, That courage comes when fear is felt, And you stand, or choose to flee. Bridge: In the quiet of his shame, He faced the truth inside, That all his life, he'd been so sure, He had no need to hide. But now he knew the bitter taste, Of fear that grips the soul, And understood that true resolve, Is born from feeling whole. Verse 3: He turned his horse and gripped his sword, His heart still pounding fast, For now he knew that bravery, Was standing to the last. He rode again to face his fate, With fear still in his chest, And in that moment, he became, A knight among the blessed. Chorus: For courage isn't found in peace, Nor in a fearless heart, It’s in the trembling of the soul, When all begins to part. He thought he knew what bravery meant, But now he truly sees, That courage comes when fear is faced, And you fight, though you could flee. Outro: Now tales are told of the knight so bold, Who learned what courage means, Not in the absence of all fear, But in the space between. For in that gap, where fear resides, And choices must be made, Is where true heroes find their strength, And where their hearts are weighed.
