Courage to Love (Lyrics)


I once had a fear of getting lost, a fear of the unknown
unfamiliar places only made me want to go home.
Too anxious to see the beauty, too afraid to even try
Too closed off to the outside world, watching life pass me by.
Til one day, a thought dawned- maybe I should look within
That way I could never be lost, and brightness would replace the dim
If I learnt to love myself, then maybe I could help many others
Who are stuck in this shadow of light- all my sisters and brothers
Let the light shine out from within
Let your heart open up and sing
Other birds will hear your song
Their hearts become open and strong...
and so it goes on, and on. Each of us helping the other
and we will receive a warmth like a hug from a mother
Love replaces fear, our positive minds replace doubt.
That's the only way to live, for it's merely existing without.
So when the pressure is so great and anxiety is high
Stay positive, relax and breath and it will pass you by
It'll help you to;-
Let the light shine out from within
Let your heart open up and sing
other birds will hear your song
their hearts become open and strong
Just have the courage to love......
Open up.....open up.........
Have the courage to love.....
