[chorus::]
It takes courage to be
and it takes courage to heal
It takes strength to see
and it takes strength just to feel

It takes power to be
and it takes power to heal
It takes some nerve to see
and it takes some nerve just to feel

[verse::]
Oh, I have been to the highest of places,
I have stared at the prettiest of faces
I have kissed the softest of lips
I have steered the biggest of ships

But, I have gone to the lowest of lows
I have starred in the s***tiest of shows
I have hit the hardest of brick walls
I have survived the highest of falls

[pre-chorus::]
If there’s one thing I’ve learned in time,
If there’s one thing that’s burned in mind

[chorus::]
It takes courage to be
and it takes courage to heal
It takes strength to see
and it takes strength just to feel

It takes power to be
and it takes power to heal
It takes some nerve to see
and it takes some nerve just to feel

[bridge::]
When you’ve come this far,
When you’ve traveled as much as me
You know how to take a hit,
But you still know how to let it be

[pre-chorus::]
If there’s one thing you will learn in time,
If there’s one thing that will be burned in your mind,

[chorus::]
I know, It takes courage to be
(Because once I thought I couldn’t be)
and I know, it takes courage to heal
(Cause once I thought I’d never get better)
I know, It takes strength to see
(Because once I thought I couldn’t see)
and I know, it takes strength just to feel
(Cause once I thought I’d be numb forever)

I know, It takes power to be
(Because once you thought I couldn’t be)
and I know, it takes power to heal
(Cause once you thought I’d never get better)
I know, It takes some nerve to see
(Because once you thought I couldn’t see)
and it takes some nerve just to feel
(Cause once you thought I’d be numb forever)

[coda::]
If there’s one thing I will teach you in time,
If there’s one thing that I will burn in your mind...
