Ravenstrikex - Stand When I’m Afraid

I stand when I'm afraid (hey, hey)
Handshake, but I stay (hey, hey)
No one saw the way (hey, hey)
I carried every day (hey, hey)
If I fall, hold the line (hey, hey)
If you break, take my spine (hey, hey)
We were not born brave
We become it in the fire, higher, higher
I kept my feet alow, so they could sleep warm
I bit my words down and walked through the storm
They said I was nothing too weak for the fight
So I trained in the dark and came back with light
I saw you hiding
I saw you hiding
You smiled at the table with pain in your jaw
You carried the silence, nobody saw
I wanted to scream, but I held your hand
I knew you were breaking, still trying to stand
I know what you hiding inside
I see where your fear still lives
You don't have to bleed alone
You don't have to turn to stone
I was scared, but I stayed
I was scared, but I stayed
I was hurt, but I pray
I was hurt, but I pray
Not to gods in the sky, to the fire in your eyes
I stand when I'm afraid (hey, hey)
Hands shake, but I stay (hey, hey)
No one saw the way I carry every day (hey, hey)
If I follow the line (hey, hey)
If you break, take my spine (hey, hey)
We were not born brave
We becoming it in the fire, higher, higher, higher
Wounds on my skin, but the oath is in blood
I don't run from the fear, I walk through the flood
If not me, then who keeps the door from the dark?
I take one more step with your name in my heart
And take me with you
I am not the one waiting behind
I am the voice inside your mind
When your knees hit up, I pull you through
You are my shield, I am yours too
I won't let the dark decide
I won't let your soul go quiet
Every tear we had to hide turns to war drums in the night
We were tight, still we rose
We were lost, still we chose
No more doubt, no more shame
Call our names into the flame
I was afraid
I felt it too
I stood for them
I stood for you
No more hidding
No more chain
We are not born brave
We became
Brave, brave, brave, brave, brave, brave
We became brave
