"Courage"
*
So you say you're on your own
And nothing's going right
Fist to fist and heart to heart
You get back up and fight
Stepped on and beaten down
But somehow, yeah somehow
You still manage, yeah you manage to survive
You manage to survive.
It's your courage
Take 'em on, take 'em out
Take a stand, take a bow
It's your courage
Take 'em on, take 'em out
Take a stand, take a bow
Woah
Woah
So now you're thinking it's the end
You're stuck in your self doubt
And if a picture says 1000 words
Take 'em till your words run out
Well it's a new chapter in your life
In your broken soul, your broken bones
Your broken heart, your broken bonds
But you still fight to make it right
In your broken soul, your broken bones
Your broken heart, your broken bonds
But you still fight to make it right
to make it right
It's your courage
Take 'em on, take 'em out
Take a stand, take a bow
It's your courage
Take 'em on, take 'em out
Take a stand, take a bow
Woah
Woah
Woah
Woah
It's last call, last chance
Line 'em up, let's make it last
Why wait when the days go fast
Make the call don't let it pass
It's your courage
Take 'em on, take 'em out
Take a stand, take a bow
It's your courage
Take 'em on, take 'em out
Take a stand, take a bow
Woah
Woah
It's your courage
Take 'em on, take 'em out
Take a stand, take a bow
It's your courage
Take 'em on, take 'em out
Take a stand, take a bow
Woah
Woah
(Your courage [repeat])
The song "Courage" by Jason DeVore is a song about perseverance and inner strength in the face of adversity. The song opens with the message that the listener is on their own and that nothing is going right for them. The next line says "fist to fist and heart to heart, you get back up and fight." This line suggests that the listener is in a fight, in a metaphorical sense, and must have the courage to keep fighting back.
The lyrics go on to describe the difficulties the listener is facing, being "torn like a flag on a battleground, stepped on and beaten down." Despite the difficulties, the listener manages to survive, and the chorus emphasizes this message of courage in facing life's challenges. The lines "take 'em on, take 'em out, take a stand, take a bow" are repeated twice in the chorus, emphasizing the importance of standing up to one's challenges.
The song's final lines are particularly powerful, emphasizing the importance of not waiting when the days go by fast and taking hold of the moments of one's life. The song ends with the chorus, reiterating the message of courage and strength.

This song has kept me going for longer then I can remember. I’ve shared it more times then I can remember with friends that have struggled and helped me remember friends that are no longer with us. Thanks for providing such a special song that we all love. I’m sure I speak for more people then you can imagine.
