Wake Up Brave

Wake Up Brave
By Kevin Andrew Hendrickson

When the light of evening starts to fade away
Crackle of the TV worrying my brain
Feeling down and broken deep inside my spine
Reeling from the failure crowded in my mind

Something happens by the morning light
No longer have the worries of the night
Do you know that you’re the reason why
From my lowest low, I’m gonna rise?

Wake up brave, wake up brave
Flip the freakin’ story, turn another page
Wake up brave, and this I say
See you every morning, when I wake up brave

The smell of wilted roses settles in the gloom
Ruminating choices fill the afternoon
Your tiny voice has spoken, perhaps you wonder why
Why am I this broken, Why am I alive?

Do you know I’m not as brave as you?
That’s why I’m searching in your eyes of blue
In the morning standing unafraid
It’s just for you, that I’ll face the day

CHORUS REPEAT

Rushing ambulance
Government collapse
Morning paper strikes the door
I’ll be strong for you
Little eyes of blue
You’re the one I’m living for
Wake up brave, I wake up brave
Wake up brave, wake up brave

CHORUS REPEAT
