    god the dopamine hit from this video is unbelievable. the collective cheer from the audience when they realize what song is playing. sara, just resplendent. the couple members of the orchestra you can tell are a bit thrilled cause they love this song. ben folds getting his little white boy groove on in the percussion section. wow.

    You can be amazing
    You can turn a phrase into a weapon or a drug
    You can be the outcast
    Or be the backlash of somebody’s lack of love
    Or you can start speaking up
    Nothing’s gonna hurt you the way that words do
    And they settle ‘neath your skin
    Kept on the inside and no sunlight
    Sometimes a shadow wins
    But I wonder what would happen if you
    Say what you wanna say
    And let the words fall out
    Honestly I wanna see you be brave
    With what you want to say
    And let the words fall out
    Honestly I wanna see you be brave
    I just wanna see you
    I just wanna see you
    I just wanna see you
    I wanna see you be brave
    I just wanna see you
    I just wanna see you
    I just wanna see you
    I wanna see you be brave
    Everybody’s been there, everybody’s been stared down
    By the enemy
    Fallen for the fear and done some disappearing
    Bow down to the mighty
    Don’t run, stop holding your tongue
    Maybe there’s a way out of the cage where you live
    Maybe one of these days you can let the light in
    Show me how big your brave is
    Say what you wanna say
    And let the words fall out
    Honestly I wanna see you be brave
    With what you want to say
    And let the words fall out
    Honestly I wanna see you be brave
    Innocence, your history of silence
    Won’t do you any good
    Did you think it would?
    Let your words be anything but empty
    Why don’t you tell them the truth?
    Say what you wanna say
    And let the words fall out
    Honestly I wanna see you be brave
    With what you want to say
    And let the words fall out
    Honestly I wanna see you be brave
    I just wanna see you
    I just wanna see you
    I just wanna see you
    I wanna see you be brave
    I just wanna see you
    I just wanna see you
    I just wanna see you
    See you be brave
    I just wanna see you
    I just wanna see you
    I just wanna see you
    I just wanna see you
    I just wanna see you
    I just wanna see you
