Man Up

"Brave"

Wake up, wake up, the sun cannot wait for long
Reach out, reach out before it fades away
You will find the warmth when you surrender
Smile into the fear and let it play

You wanna run away, run away
And you say that it can't be so
You wanna look away, look away
But you stay 'cause it's all so close
When you stand up and hold out your hand
In the face what I don't understand
My reason to be brave

Hold on, hold on so strong, times just carries on
All that you thought was wrong is pure again
You can't hide forever from the fire
Look into the storm and feel the rain

You wanna run away, run away
And you say that it can't be so
You wanna look away, look away
But you stay 'cause it's all so close
When you stand up and hold out your hand
In the face what I don't understand
My reason to be brave

Go on, go on

You wanna run away run away
And you say that it can't be so
You wanna look away look away
But you stay 'cause it's all so close
When you stand up and hold out your hand
In the face what I don't understand
My reason to be brave

So yes, I do randomly post song lyrics.  But these, I feel, have something for us all.  For one thing, it's by Josh Groban, so of course it is awesome!  But also it tells us to not just face our fears but to smile at it.   Think of your worse fear in the world.  Now think of walking up to it and smiling at it.  And no, the creepy evil smile.  So, I guess what I am trying to say is that you must face your fears.  This summer I finally got over my fear of heights.  (I know what you are thinking,  'What Tori was afraid of something!!!' ...or maybe not.)  It was easier than I though.  I just went to High School camp and jumped off a zip-line....  And now I am not really afraid.  Have to say though, I found this song after High School Camp.    

Hope you fine these lyrics as inspiring as I do.
