Lyrics Courage - Milton Nascimento

Courage

Day wanders away
And the night clings like a tear
In the quite and cold
A young man is crying
Living with his fear
As a voice rises in prayer
That the knows no one will hear
He must face this alone
This time of learning
Knowing death is near
All his day are filed with empty sorrow
A warrior’s life with know tomorrow to warm him
His only hope or comfort is dreaming
At times he’d like to run
All his night are long and fear is blinding
His oath is stronger, honor binding, it holds him
Again he’ll stand his ground until morning
He lives to see the sun
As the day wanders away
And the night clings like a tear
In the quite and cold
A young man is crying
Living with his fear
