Pick up those stones in your trembling hand &
With every step you take towards
The giant in your path,
Take heart my friend.
Bravery doesn’t come easy.
Lift your head with pride.
Look him in the eye,
Take each step with purpose, and as you persevere
Think of all the roads you’ve already won.
Bravery doesn’t come easy.
Let him see the fear which belies
The Truth coursing in your veins as you advance
And raise your trembling arm with pebble in hand
And toss it with all your heart.
Bravery doesn’t come easy.
But I know you will win
Because you fight with faith as your shield
And the one who built creation forged your armour
From his own courageous blood.
Bravery doesn’t come easy.
But I know you’ll win.
Because you fight for love.
