Lyrics

You can be a maz in’, you can turn a phrase in to a wea pon or a (Am)drug.

You can be the out cast or be the back lash of some bod y’s lack of (F)love,

or (G)you can start speak ing (C)up.

Noth in’s gon na hurt you the way that words do when they set tle ’neath your (Am)skin.

Kept on the in side and no sun light some times a shad ow (F)wins.

But I (G)won der what would hap pen if you (C)say what you wan na say and let the words fall (F)out

hon est ly.

I wan na see you be (C)brave with what you wan na say and let the words fall (F)out

hon est ly.

I wan na see you be (C)brave.

Just wan na see you.

(F)I just wan na see you.

(Am)I just wan na see you.

I wan na see you be (C)brave.

Just wan na see you.

(F)I just wan na see you.

(Am)I just wan na see you,

I wan na see you be brave.

Ev ’ry bod y’s been there, ev ’ry bod y’s been stared down by the en em (Am)y.

Fall en for the fear and done some dis ap pear in’, bow down to the might y.

Don’t run, (G)just

stop in’ your (C)tongue.

May be there’s a way out of the cage where you (Am)live.

May be one of these days you can let the light (F)in and show me how big your brave is.

(C)Say what you wan na say and let the words fall (F)out

I wan na see you be (Am)brave.

And since your (C)his to ry of si lence won’t do you (F)an y good, did you think (F)it would?

Let you words be (C)an y thing but emp ty.

Why don’t you tell them the truth?
