Lyrics and Music ? By Pete Dowan (SOCAN)
COURAGE
1st STANZA:
Why am I so discouraged ? Is living only a pastime ?
Life must be something more, what do I have in store ?
Courage, I need you.
On the battlefield a soldier must have courage
Or be caught up in a spiderweb, a fear of dieing.
I need courage just to face the day each morning
For I know it's just a rerun of the day before
I'm here and nothing more... A penny in a store
2nd STANZA:
Hope is just like a handrail, It's something you can hold on to
I've had to wait so long, my grip is almost gone
Courage I need you.
What's the point of being when you're not considered
For soliloquies are lost if they are not in Shakespeare
I need courage not to show the choking feeling
That arrives when I am left to wait outside the door
I'm here and nothing more... A penny in a store
BRIDGE:
I intended to have a life... Loving children and loving wife
Hard to give up a dream of love, so very hard (Rit.......)
FINAL STANZA:
Must I go on forever, my courage seems to be ... failing
I guess I'll never know I see the street below
Courage I need you... I Need You.......
