Madison Ryann Ward
Valour
[Chorus: Madison Ryann Ward]
Peace comes when I don't know how to receive it
Father, tell me maybe there's a blessing when you leave it
Give it all to me so I can give it better meaning
Into freedom is where I'm leanin'

[Verse 1: Joshua Luke Smith]
When I was younger, my mother prophesied I'd be a Nazarite
I could never let that harmonise with my appetite
Always chasin' Aphrodite
Dreamin' of the aftеrlife
There's nothing that could satisfy thе hunger that I have inside
Talkin' 'bout the lavish life
But don't manage the life behind the [?] man like a pantomime, uh
Don't let me get patronised
My body battles like Bruce Banner tryna pacify the angry guy
Greener than the serpent in Eden deceivin'
[Man of his meaning?], concealin' demons
With dreams of achievin'
Success at the expense of all the joy that he's seekin' like a preacher
I'm reaching to the ceiling, screaming for freedom
[?] 'cause I stopped believin' words that I'm speakin'
If I'm a heathen, may I be that thief dyin' next to Jesus
Denyin' your weakness won't deliver you strength
And that grass never gets greener by peerin' over the fence
So tell 'em
[Chorus: Madison Ryann Ward]
I don't need what I thought I needed
Happy with the breath that I've been breathin'
Learn in me a thing or two about a perfect season
Taking everything up off the table, now I'm eatin'
Peace comes when I don't know how to receive it
Father, tell me maybe there's a blessing when you leave it
Give it all to me so I can give it better meaning
Into freedom is where I'm leanin'

[Verse 2: Joshua Luke Smith]
I want it all
Baby, I want it all
I want even the evening and Eden before the fall
I want streams of living water from the mountains [and the pole?]
And every dream of my daughter
Manifest [?]
Man, that's why I kill the vanity
'Cause no pixel perfect perception could [?] my reality
I'd rather be a salmon in famine, swimmin' upstream in mid-panter
Man, courage will cost you, that's the definition of valour
Everyday abracadabra, the present is magic
But we're distracted so we miss the rabbit under our hats
My rhymes are active like chiropractors, I'm bringin' it back
How we gon' chase the nation without facin' the facts?
We judge others 'cause we're afraid
And we hustle to find our place
We struggle to be unashamed
Uh, but we were enough just as we came so tell 'em, uh
[Chorus: Madison Ryann Ward]
I don't need what I thought I needed
Happy with the breath that I've been breathin'
Learn in me a thing or two about a perfect season
Taking everything up off the table, now I'm eatin'
Peace comes when I don't know how to receive it
Father, tell me maybe there's a blessing when you leave it
Give it all to me so I can give it better meaning
Into freedom is where I'm leanin'

[Bridge: Madison Ryann Ward, Madison Ryann Ward & Joshua Luke Smith, Joshua Luke Smith]
Give me something I can digest
How do I live when my flesh hasn't died yet?
I know it's grotesque, but I digress
I'm so blessed when I try less
Yeah
My life is a protest
Make the devil run when he hear what I profess
With my whole chest (Uh)
Give my soul rest
Your Kingdom come [?] (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

[Chorus: Madison Ryann Ward, Joshua Luke Smith]
I don't need what I thought I needed
Happy with the breath that I've been breathin'
Learn in me a thing or two about a perfect season (Yes)
Taking everything up off the table, now I'm eatin' (Yeah, yeah)
Peace comes when I don't know how to receive it (I receive it)
Father, tell me maybe there's a blessing when you leave it
Give it all to me so I can give it better meaning (Yeah, ayy)
Into freedom is where I'm leanin'
[Outro: Joshua Luke Smith]
Ayy, ayy
Yeah, yeah
Uh-uh, yeah
Check
Uh-uh
