brave hearted girl

goes out to take on the world

but comes home crying every time

she doesn't sleep at night

she's afraid to close her eyes

I see her walking in the street sometimes



she knows about suffering

and all about sorrow

she's starving for the beautiful things

that people seem to believe in



(CHORUS)

she doesn't want to be

dead in the water, yet she swims out to sea



how long?

waited way too long

(don't let them fool you)



brave hearted girl

goes out to take on the world

but comes home crying every time

we're walking in the rain

she turns to me to say

I hope tomorrow doesn't feel this way



she's heard about happiness

she's heard about Jesus

she's starving for the beautiful things

that people seem to believe in



(CHORUS
