Courage
Courage is the price that Life exacts

Courage
Courage is the price that Life exacts
For granting peace

The soul that knows it not
Knows no release from little things

Know not the livid loneliness of fear
Nor mountain heights where bitter joy can hear
The sound of wings

How can life grant us boon of living
Compensate for dull
Gray ugliness
And pregnant hate (x2)
Unless we dare (x2)
The soul's dominion?

Each time we make a choice, we way
With courage
With courage

To behold the resistless day
And count it fair
Courage
Courage is the price that Life exacts
