Lyrics Courage - Sarah Vaughan

Courage

Day wanders away
And the night clings like a tear
In the quiet and cold
A young man is crying
Living with his fear
As a voice rises in prayer
That he knows no one will hear
He must face this alone
This time of learning
Knowing death is near
All his days are filled with empty sorrow
A warrior’s life with no 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 quiet and cold
A young man is crying
Living with his fear
