Brave is the eye of the beholder

I know what you can do

My heart is tethered to you

Even when my hand is not

I know where the demons lurk

I've met them myself many times

Sometimes they got the best of me

Smart, brazen and ugly mirrors

Trust me, I'll give you the tools to help you, I'll find them all

Look those monsters in the eye and give them truth


But sometimes you have to slay your own dragons

Even if I have a white horse to rescue you

And bravery is not the same for every person

But I see you.

And I know what you can do.
