FULL OF COURAGE
Verse 1:
There are many kinds of strength
Did you see it that way yourself?
I still have your picture in a dusty frame
On a dustier bookshelf
No one else knows your name
Except maybe just a few
One of the brave that traveled south
I thank God and I thank you
Chorus:
Did you realize that you were full of courage
Or was it just what you had to do?
Verse 2:
Places with names you’d never heard
People who did not care
How can you help to change the world
When the world doesn’t want you there?
Torches and crosses and screaming and shame
Emptiness darkness grew
Did you know that you would be leaving to others
To finish what you went through
Chorus:
Did you realize that you were full of courage
Or was it just what you had to do?
Spoken Word Bridge:
You were full of courage when you walked out on the bridge
You were full of courage when you fought against oppression
You were full of courage when others just stood by
You were full of courage and history was written
Chorus:
After you were gone it was up to us
To finish what you went through
Did you realize that you were full of courage
Or was it just what you had to do?
