Brave Enough to Choose

{intimate

fingerpicked acoustic guitar} {warm pedal steel volume swells} {delicate cello entry} I

know you're scared of what could change,

Of sharing every night and day.

I hear the worries in your heart,

And I don't want to tear them apart.

I'm not asking you to rush,

Or ignore the weight you feel.

I only hope you'll see with me

What love can slowly help reveal.

Every step we've ever taken

Started with a little doubt.

But if we let fear choose our future,

We'll never find what life's about.

{subtle piano chords enter} {crying violin harmony} So don't let fear write

our story, Don't let "what if" steal today.

I respect the way you're feeling,

I'd never wish those fears away.

But I believe we're stronger together,

Growing through the unknown skies.

If we never move because we're frightened,

We'll never see what waits beyond our eyes. (yeah)

Moving in won't make us perfect,

There'll be days we get it wrong.

But every home is built by choosing

To keep each other safe and strong.

I'm not looking for forever

To be promised overnight.

I'm just asking for a chance

To walk beside you through the light.

Love has always meant believing

Even when the road's unclear.

We can face tomorrow hand in hand— We don't have to follow

fear. {emotional build}

{swelling strings} So don't let fear write our story,

Let hope be louder than the doubt.

Every dream we've talked about together

Needs the courage to find out.

I respect your heart completely,

And I'll always hear your voice.

But if fear decides our future,

Then we're never making a choice.

Let's keep moving, keep believing,

One small step is all it takes.

Because the best things in our lifetime Are the ones we're brave

enough to make.
