Braver than we are Lyrics

Sometimes it's the night and the way it seems to cry

And whisper terrifying secrets in your ear

Sometimes it's the day and the sun has got no mercy

Lighting up and burning everything that's in its way



There are times I've gotta run, times I've gotta hide

Things I've left undone, things I cast aside

So many things to try

So many things denied



If I ever tell you the truth

I'm scared you would leave me

I need the proof that you would believe me



You think I fly like an angel without any tears

Higher and higher, above the world and all its fears



Everybody's ready to fly

But the storms are never so very far

And you think my life is shining like a star

But the fears are never very far



And we always seem so much braver than we ever are

We always dream we'd be braver but we never are

Let's run away

Let's go so far....



Sometimes it's the flesh and the way it seems to yearn

For all the magic of a single perfect touch

Sometimes it's the soul and it's waiting for salvation

You'll know when you get it there can never be too much



There are times I've gotta run, times I've gotta hide

Things I've left undone, things I've cast aside

So many things to try

So many things denied



If I ever tell you the truth

Would you ever believe me?

Show me the proof, I'm so scared you would leave me



You think I fly like an angel without any cares

Higher and higher as if I'm breathing sacred air



Everybody's ready to fly

But the storms are never so very far

And you think my life is shining like a star

But the fears are never very far

The nightmare's never very far



And we always seem so much braver than we ever are

We always dream we'd be braver but we never are

Let's run away

Let's go too far

Oh yeah...

Yeah....

Oh no...



(say a prayer)

(say a prayer)



Say a prayer for those who crawl

Say a prayer for those who run

Say a prayer so all and all

There's a better life to come



Say a prayer for those alone

Say a prayer for those apart

All the golden boys and girls

The crusaders of the heart



Say a prayer for all the lost

Say a prayer for the unborn

Say a prayer for all the young

It takes a fire to keep them warm



Say a prayer for those obsessed

(you think I fly like an angel without any cares)

Say a prayer for those enslaved

Say a prayer to beat the drums

From the cradle to the grave



Say a prayer for all the saints

(higher and higher as if I'm breathing sacred air)

Say a prayer for all the sins

Let the dancing never end

Let the future now begin



Say a prayer to all the gods

Some are near and some are far

Say a prayer to all the gods

Make us braver than we are



Say a prayer to all the gods

Some are near and some are far

Say a prayer to all the gods

Make us braver than we are, oh yeah....



How far is too far baby?

Come on?take me, take me!

We're crusaders of the heart

And going all the way is just a start



How far is too far?

How far is too far, baby?

Take me deep inside your heart

And going all the way is just a start



(say a prayer) Yeaaah...

(say a prayer) Oooh...



Going all the way is just a start

Make us braver than we are



There's no such thing as too far

I've got to be where you are

Going all the way is just a start

The crusaders of the heart



There's no such thing as too far

I've got to be where you are

Going all the way is just a start

Make us braver than we are



Make us braver than we are

Heay yeah



Going all the way is just a start

Make us braver than we are



There's no such thing as too far

(you think I fly like an angel without any cares)

I've got be where you are

Going all the way is just a start

Make us braver than we are



(higher and higher as if I'm breathing sacred air)
