lyrics

WE BRAVE!

WE MET DOWN AT THE RIVERSIDE.
DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS DARKER THAN PRIDE.
LAUGH AND CRY; YOU LIVE OR YOU DIE
DOWN AT THE TAVERN TO PRAY: WE BRAVE!

THERE WE BLEED, THERE WE HEAL,
THERE WE'RE FOUND BY THE DEVIL JACK KNIFE.
THERE WE DANCED INTO THE FIRE,
DOWN AT THE WOMEN TO PRAY: WE BRAVE!

BLINDED GUIDE, CHARMING FOOLS.
ALWAYS SEEKERS BUT AIN'T GOT NO TOOLS.
RISE YOURSELF, PICK UP YOUR HAT
WHEN YOU'RE DOWN, DOWN, DOWN, DOWN...

LONG, LONG TIME HAS GONE BY.
JIM "THE UNBEATEN" TOOK THE CHANCE TO FLY
TRYING TO FIND THE PROMISE LAND
DOWN AT THE VIRGIN TO PRAY: WE BRAVE!

THERE HE FAILED, THERE HE BUILT.
ANCIENT LAND'S ON THE FIGHT TO SURVIVE.
SOME LEFT HOME, A BRAND NEW LIFE IS
DOWN AT THE FUTURE TO PRAY: WE BRAVE!

BLINDED GUIDE, CHARMING FOOLS.
ALWAYS SEEKERS BUT AIN'T GOT NO TOOLS.
RISE YOURSELF, PICK UP YOUR HAT
WHEN YOU'RE DOWN, DOWN, DOWN, DOWN...

OLDER, WISER, FATHERS NOW.
WONDERING 'BOUT ALL THE SECRETS OF HOW
TO GET CLOSER TO THE SUN -
DOWN AT THE HARBOUR TO PRAY: WE BRAVE!

HERE WE STAND, MAY WE LEAVE.
TIRELESS PEOPLE NEVER GET RELIEF.
DON'T GIVE UP, WE'LL MEET AGAIN
DOWN AT THE TAVERN TO PRAY: WE BRAVE!

BLINDED GUIDE, CHARMING FOOLS.
ALWAYS SEEKERS BUT AIN'T GOT NO TOOLS.
RISE YOURSELF, PICK UP YOUR HAT
THOUGH YOU'RE DOWN, DOWN, DOWN, DOWN...

...DOWN AT THE TAVERN TO PRAY: WE BRAVE!
