Verse 1:
I stand at the edge of my fears,
Heart pounding, filled with whispers of doubt,
I wanna be strong, let my spirit soar,
But the shadows of my mind, they cling and shout.
Chorus:
Am I brave or just playing pretend?
With armor on my heart, can I let it mend?
I’m brave and afraid, dancing in the rain,
Learning to embrace the beauty in the pain.
Verse 2:
Sometimes the light feels so far away,
I stumble and falter, lose my way,
But every bruise and scar that I wear,
Tell a story of courage, though I feel so bare.
Chorus:
Am I brave or just playing pretend?
With armor on my heart, can I let it mend?
I’m brave and afraid, dancing in the rain,
Learning to embrace the beauty in the pain.
Bridge:
Oh, every tear I cry, they say it’s a sign,
That I’m breaking, but maybe it’s design,
To unlock the strength that’s buried inside,
To rise from the ashes, no longer hide.
Chorus:
Am I brave or just playing pretend?
With armor on my heart, can I let it mend?
I’m brave and afraid, dancing in the rain,
Learning to embrace the beauty in the pain.
Outro:
So here I stand, vulnerable and free,
Navigating the fear, it’s the realest part of me,
I’m brave and afraid, but that’s okay,
It’s the journey of courage that leads me each day.
