Brave (Medium Key-Premiere Performance Plus w/ Background Vocals) - Nichole Nordeman

The gate is wide, the road is paved in moderation

The crowd is kind and quick to pull you in

Welcome to the middle ground, it’s safe and sound and

Until now, it’s where I’ve been

'Cause it’s been fear that ties me down to everything

But it’s been love, your love, that cuts the strings

So long… status quo

I think I just let go

You make me wanna be brave

The way it always was

Is no longer good enough

You make me wanna be brave

Brave, brave

I am small and I speak when I’m spoken to

But I am willing to risk it all

I say Your name, just Your name

And I’m ready to jump

Even ready to fall

Why did I take this vow of compromise?

Why did I try to keep it all inside?

So long… status quo

I think I just let go

You make me wanna be brave

The way it always was

Is no longer good enough

You make me wanna be brave

Brave, brave

I’ve never known a fire that didn’t begin with a flame

And every storm will start with just a drop of rain

But if you believe in me

That changes everything

So long… I’m gone

So long… status quo

I think I just let go

You make me wanna be brave

I wanna be brave

The way it always was

Is no longer good enough

You make me wanna be brave

Brave, brave, brave
