Verse 1
It takes courage to take the hard road
And courage to do what's right
It takes courage to face the darkness
And courage to shine the light
It takes courage to keep on trying
And courage to persevere
It takes courage to walk on through the storm
And face your deepest fears
Chorus
So hold that shield of courage high
And stand and fight the fear that bites
And in our hearts we'll find the strength within
For we were born not to lose but to win
Verse 2
It takes courage to say we're sorry
And courage to put things right
It takes courage to say when we are wrong
And courage to swallow our pride
It takes courage to face tomorrow
And courage to stand alone
It takes courage to leave the past behind
And walk a path unknown
