Courage

At the start of the conversation

I didn't have much to say

I was looking for some inspiration

You just got in my way

Took a shot at an easy target

You were too stunned to say anything

You were the unsuspecting martyr

You were not the most dangerous game

Bring my courage back now

Bring it back to me

Tired of being afraid of what I can't change

And I want to be living free

I don't want to be a prisoner

I want to live free

Well it could be I was mistaken

Could be that I deceived myself

But it's hard to understand somebody

Who doesn't want to understand himself

There's an ocean of unlatched windows

And a world of unlocked homes

The only reason anybody still feels safe

Is most people still knock on the door

Bring my courage back now

Bring it back to me

Tired of being afraid of what I can't change

And I want to be living free

I don't want to be a prisoner (x3)

bound in these chains

a slave to my fears

Just want to be living free

Though we all return to dust

There's a lot of us

In an awful rush to

(then as before)

By the end of the inquisition

I was brought back from the brink

Torquemada and a couple of friends got together

All went out for drinks

Left me here in this empty dungeon

While they're living it up downtown

As if they never even existed

Doesn't make much difference now

Bring my courage back now

Bring it back to me

Tired of being afraid of what I can't change

And I want to be living free

I don't want to be a prisoner (x3)

(afraid of these chains)

(slave to my fears)

Just want to be living free

Well some take the road to Damascus

Some take the road to hell

I'll take highway 1 to the evergreens

And everything will turn out well
