Brave Man
Ezio Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Once there was a brave man
Who looked a lot like me
Who fought against injustice
And struggled to be free
And it sometimes makes me shudder
To think of him
Looking down at me
At the way that I squander my pride
And the things he left to me

But I have his eyes
I have his smile
I had a head start
But it's too late
They've caught me now

And I wish that I could be
Half as brave as you
The things you felt then
I know, I feel them too

Once there was a brave man
Wh knew just what to do
I'll never know another
But my son, my son... he'll know one too

And he'll have his eyes
He'll have his smile
He'll have a head start
And they'll never catch him
He's gonna run for miles and miles and miles

And I hope that he
Can be half as brave as you
The things you felt then,
I know, he'll feel them too

He's gonna feel them too
The things you felt then
I'm feeling
He's gonna feel them too
