Was down the UA-cam rabbit hole and came across your channel and this video. When I heard the first line it was apparent that this wasn’t going to be a “happy” song. Had to sit down. Very moving, young lady. Hope you continue with your musical endeavors. You appear to have the penchant for beautiful music. Take care. From Jim in Columbia, Missouri. 🌹
One of the strongest and most honest lyrics I've ever heard - truly BRAVE Behind the Ray-Bans and the make-up she kept hoping beyond their picket fence she went on keeping house As the pearls he gave her shimmered in the sunshine the bruises hurt beneath her cotton blouse And though the Daffodills she watered gave her comfort like the smiles of waving neighbours passing by she was frightened of the man who shared her bedroom She was wondering if Jesus heard her cry Ref : Gotta be brave x 2 Brave When he beat her she was told she had it coming so she blamed herself and kept up the facade and he warned her if she ever thought to leave him she'd be breaking every wow they made to God So she stuck it out and hid her desperation She waited thru another year of dread She failed to shield their children from his fury They learned to fear and trembled in their beds Ref : Gotta be brave .... Some say staying is the greatest act of courage and enduring is the noble thing to do I say : Flee my friend ! Just flee if you are able ! Get free, get saved ! - Let others fight for you !

One of the strongest and most honest lyrics I've ever heard - truly BRAVE
Behind the Ray-Bans and the make-up she kept hoping
beyond their picket fence she went on keeping house
As the pearls he gave her shimmered in the sunshine
the bruises hurt beneath her cotton blouse
And though the Daffodills she watered gave her comfort
like the smiles of waving neighbours passing by
she was frightened of the man who shared her bedroom
She was wondering if Jesus heard her cry
Ref : Gotta be brave x 2
Brave
When he beat her she was told she had it coming
so she blamed herself and kept up the facade
and he warned her if she ever thought to leave him
she'd be breaking every wow they made to God
So she stuck it out and hid her desperation
She waited thru another year of dread
She failed to shield their children from his fury
They learned to fear and trembled in their beds
Ref : Gotta be brave ....
Some say staying is the greatest act of courage
and enduring is the noble thing to do
I say : Flee my friend ! Just flee if you are able !
Get free, get saved ! - Let others fight for you !
Gotta brave,
Honey, be brave !
Brave
Please be brave !
Hold on to let your heart
wherever you are
Oh be brave
Behind the Ray-Bans and the make-up she kept hoping'
