Born to Be Brave
Cast of High School Musical: The Musical: The Series Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't need a king
I got my crown
Don't need a hero to lift me off the ground
I built this heart
It's beating loud
Won't let no bad blood ever bring us down

Keep flying higher
Fight like a fighter
What if I'm everything that I will ever need?
A queen messiah
A strong survivor
Even the worst days won't get the best of me

'Cause I was born to be brave
I know who I am inside
And I won't apologize
Made my mistakes
And they gave me wings to fly
To my castle in the sky

I used to feel
Like I was lost
It's like my phone's navigation was turned off
But it's the road
I stumbled on
That led me right to the place where I belong

Keep flying higher
Fight like a fighter
Yeah, I am everything that I was meant to be
A blazin' fire
That's getting brighter
Don't need nobody here that don't believe in me

'Cause I was born to be brave
I know who I am inside
And I won't apologize
Made my mistakes
And they gave me wings to fly
To my castle in the sky
Let my hair down and let it go
No more running, I run this show
Way up here, yeah, the view is gold
Born to be brave
Now I'm standing miles high
Like castles in the sky

Bosses and queens, stand up on your throne
Know who you are, this is your kingdom
Legends at heart, individuals
Go make your mark, be original

'Cause I was born to be brave
I know who I am inside
And I won't apologize
Made my mistakes
And they gave me wings to fly
To my castle in the sky
Let my hair down and let it go
No more running, I run the show
Way up here, yeah, the view is gold
'Cause I was born to be brave
Now I'm standing miles high




Like castles in the sky
Like castles in the sky

Jakers!
It's the story of friend Piggley
Ireland is too much for him
Not even from the confusions our friend escapes
Just always doing it, that's what he always does

Piggley, Ferny, Molly, Dannan, are always in a mess
In Tara or Raloo, wherever it is always fun
Curious and driven, they live inventing what to do
They're kind of crazy, crazy like that, with new adventures
That has no end

When your eyes shine you have to be careful
A bad plan, we don't know the end
If the snout twists, it is worrying
Madness on the way, it sure is

Piggley, Ferny, Molly, Dannan, are always in a mess
In Tara or Raloo, wherever it is always fun
Curious and driven, they live inventing what to do
They're kind of crazy, crazy like that, with new adventures
That has no end
