Courage

At the start of the conversation I didn't have too much to say I was needing some inspiration You just got in my way I took a shot at an easy target You were too stunned to say anything You were the unsuspecting martyr You were not the most dangerous game Bring my courage back now Bring it back to me I'm tired of being afraid of what I can't change I want to be living free Could be that I was mistaken Or maybe I deceived myself But it's hard to understand somebody Doesn't want to understand himself There's an ocean of unlatched windows And a world of unlocked homes The only reason anybody can still feel safe Is most people still knock on the door Bring my courage back now Would you bring it back to me I'm tired of being afraid of what I can't change I want to be living free I don't want to be a prisoner Bound in these chains Don't want to be a prisoner I want to be free again And though we all return to dust There's a lot of us in a terrible rush to By the end of the inquisition I was brought back from the brink Torquemada and a couple of friends got together And all went out for drinks Left me here in this empty dungeon While they're living it up downtown As if they ever even existed Doesn't make much difference now Doesn't make much difference now Gonna take my courage back now Bring it back to me I'm tired of being afraid of what I can't change I want to be living free I don't want to be a prisoner Bound in these chains Slave to my fear I want to be free again I want to be free again Some take the road to Damascus Some take the road to Hell I'll take Highway One to the evergreens And everything will turn out well
