Courage

Carry on this road tonight

Tie a hitch for coming weather

To smiling eyes and faces

The serotonin of your laughter

Then early rise and straining

Five long days in a row

The lists are drawn; expectations

Blue light, coffee on the go

Show a little courage in the morning light

It's hard to work for something that doesn't feel right

Coming down from a high like crashing to the ground

What's strange is I was singing, now I hardly make a sound

There were days when we were lazing

The grass was cut and we had time

To gaze out into the horizon

The city just pebbles on the shoreline

Deep diving, eyes open, suspending time

Show a little courage in the morning light

It's hard to work for something that doesn't feel right

I learned to love the insects hidden in the clover

And the dust above our heads

But the brimming of my thoughts were boiling over

And skins were being shed

Show a little courage in the morning light

It's hard to work for something that doesn't feel right

What's been buried will grow with a little sunshine

The bloom of fog and snow changes shape in my mind

In my mind
