Brave I don’t want to behave, I’m tired. Sick of stingy conforming, Performing inside when outside Spirit is pouring I want to be a child who is brave. I don’t want to behave, To blend in, melt in with the crowd, It is rooftops I’m called, to announce aloud, I long to be a dancer who is brave.
I don’t want to behave, To hide away with nothing to say, To boredom, mud stuck mind I shout, go away! I long to be a follower of the brave. I don’t want to behave, To tight fisted heartedness, away from generous bliss, To go, kingdom stretching, it is this That I am wooed to do, to be a soldier who is brave. I don’t want to behave. I will be brave.
