Be Brave lyrics

In the basement of an empty house

I slept on the floor like a vagrant

I braved a Minnesota winter night

And drove to a movie feeling lonely

And as I thawed my heart out by the light

Of the silver screen

I was unaware that you were there

In the dark, a silhouette

Was climbing up the stairs

And what I thought

In the parking lot

Was like, I just wanna know your name

I drove away

With not much to say

But in my hand I held a paper bird

And written on it were the words

Be brave

Wildflower knew I wasn’t well

But on the kitchen floor I got better again

I grabbed my keys and drove toward a star

And there, I was understood for the first time in my life

'Cause that’s when I was introduced to true

Serendipity

I knew it when

You showed up again

In the snow, I was always told

Your heart is where you’re home is

And what I thought

In the coffee shop

Was like, the last eight hours was a dream

I drove away

With not much to say

But in my hand I held a paper bird

And written on it were the words

Ok, I'll be brave

And in my mind

After all this time

I think, ain't life beautiful and strange

I’m blown away

With no words to say

'Cause I, I’ll forever be amazed

How I learned the meaning of the phrase

Be brave
