Brave Is Just to Go

[Soft Felt Piano Intro] The suitcase was packed since last night The train ticket sat in my cool coat pocket [Verse 1] I stood at the small station waiting for the first train The early-month chill blowing through my hair My heart both trembling and strangely eager Because for the first time I dared to go without a destination [Pre-Chorus] Bravery isn't not knowing fear But carrying the suitcase though your legs still shake [Chorus] Brave is just to go Going even when you can't see the shore Brave is just to go I'm brave because I took the step [Verse 2] The train left the station, pulling the old path behind The car window showed me sitting up straight The horizon ahead pale with early sunlight Yet my heart light as if it never carried a load [Chorus] Brave is just to go Going even when you can't see the shore Brave is just to go I'm brave because I took the step [Bridge] Everyone waits for enough courage before going I learned the reverse: go first, then grow bold Each trip teaches a little courage [Chorus] Brave is just to go Going even when you can't see the shore Brave is just to go I'm brave because I took the step [Outro] I've gone now The suitcase light with the train's rhythm [Fade Out] [End]
