[Verse 1] You lace your boots We watch the gate We cook We laugh You hold our fate You board that plane We hold our breath You joke You wave You dance with death [Chorus] This is our brass for the brave Every blare is your name To the air above The sea below Every flag Every unknown road Thank you for the lives you gave This is our brass for the brave [Verse 2] Shadows fall On your empty chair We fold the shirts You used to wear We hear your voice In the evening news A quiet pride A quiet bruise [Chorus] This is our brass for the brave Every blare is your name To the ones who fly and never sleep To the ones who dive and guard the deep Thank you for the lives you gave This is our brass for the brave [Bridge] To the wings that cut through the storm To the eyes that watch in the dark To the boots that march where the hurt is born To the hearts that carry our hearts Air and sea and distant sand You risk it all for this small land [Chorus] This is our brass for the brave Every blare is your name To the ones who stand when others flee To the ones who fall for you and me Thank you for the lives you gave This is our brass for the brave [Outro] So when the trumpet cries your song Know our thanks will echo long Every note A promise made We remember Brass for the brave
