Silent Courage
(hummmmm) He learned to keep the secrets in the dark
A quiet boy who hid behind a smile
They left their heavy bruises and a mark
He kept it locked inside him all the while
The shadows grew and turned to heavy grey
A weight upon his chest that wouldn't leave
He couldn't find a single word to say
Just learning how to hide and how to grieve
But the silence has to break
For every breath he had to fake
He's standing tall and breathing out
No longer hiding in the doubt (ahhhh)
He spent a decade locked inside his head
With heavy winter staying in his chest
But something woke inside the tears he shed
A quiet strength to put the ghosts to rest
He found his voice
It started with a whisper in the room
He made his choice
To pull himself right out of all the gloom
He's finally speaking out (finally
free)
No longer hiding in the doubt (hummmmm)
