Nichole Nordeman - Brave lyrics

The gate is wide The road is paved in moderation The crowd is kind and quick to pull you in Welcome to the middle ground You're safe and sound and Until now, it's where I've been 'Cause it's been fear that ties me down to everything But it's been love, your love, that cuts the strings So long status quo I think I just let go You make me want to be brave The way it always was Is no longer good enough You make me want to be brave Brave, brave I am small And I speak when I'm spoken to But I am willing to risk it all I say your name Just your name and I'm ready to jump Even ready to fall Why did I take this vow of compromise? Why did I try to keep it all inside? I've never known a fire that didn't begin with a flame Every storm will start with just a drop of rain But if you believe in me, that changes everything
