[Verse 1]
Heartbeat hiding
Under quiet skin
Every breath a secret
You keep tucked in
Tiny tremble
Hands that want to fly
You keep looking down
Afraid to meet your eyes
[Chorus]
You are brave in the soft light
Standing still
But you still fight
All your fears in a slow tide
Let them break on the shoreline
You are brave in the soft light
Don’t need thunder to burn bright
Every whisper
A war cry
You are brave
You are brave in the soft light
[Verse 2]
Step a little closer
To the open door
Scared of every echo
Of the days before
But your voice is shaking
Only ‘cause it’s true
Courage isn’t louder
It just sounds like you
[Chorus]
You are brave in the soft light
Standing still
But you still fight
All your fears in a slow tide
Let them break on the shoreline
You are brave in the soft light
Don’t need thunder to burn bright
Every whisper
A war cry
You are brave
You are brave in the soft light
[Bridge]
[Vocals float over swelling pads]
Even when you crumble (oh)
You’re learning how to rise
Tears on your pillow
Are medals in disguise
[Chorus]
You are brave in the soft light
Standing still
But you still fight
All your fears in a slow tide
Let them break on the shoreline
You are brave in the soft light
Don’t need thunder to burn bright
Every whisper
A war cry
You are brave
You are brave in the soft light
