"Brave"

The music keeps coming, thankfully. A lot of it, in fact --and sometimes I can't begin to keep up with it. The past month or so has clobbered me, frustrating me in this arena as I've not had the necessary combination of time and energy to do much with it.

November is a particularly busy month in my family due to Thanksgiving (my favorite holiday!) and three familial dates --one of them being my parent's golden anniversary this year, which I saw to investing as much as I could into as it was more-or-less up to me to pull off something special for them. (Making life special is evidently up to we females)

And because all of that apparently wasn't yet enough to kill me, the past couple of months saw me making a greater number of lattes as well (translation: I've been working more than I was) and so the combination of all of these things and then some has had me quite literally spent.

That said, I have somewhat miraculously managed to etch out an initial sketch or two of what's been going on for me, musically, in the interim. What I'm learning I may be sharing with you most, musically, here via the blog are what I call "sketches"; a raw initial rendering of a new song I'm working on -just my guitar and me - a preview of sorts- hoping they're somehow enjoyable for you even in this form.

Here is the latest complete song sketch sound file and the lyrics to...

Brave



There is so much sadness in me
so much no one here on Earth can seem to see
except for You
except for You

I don't want to play his stupid games
but You've been standing here beside me in the rain
If not for You
I'd not get through

I wouldn't do this
no, I couldn't do this
You're my reason
through You I conquer the grave
I wouldn't be here
no, I couldn't be here
it's all You
You're the song that I sing
You have made me brave

On my white horse riding in
there's no way that I can't win
with You
with You

I wouldn't be here
no, I couldn't be here
it's all You
You're the song that I sing
You have made me
it's all You
You're the reason I sing
it's You who makes me brave
