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
