Brave, An Original

Hey you guys! So, this video is something I have been meaning to put up for a while, and I finally got around to doing it =) I wrote this song over the summer and it is very near and dear to my heart.

LYRICS:

Can't even let my self in anymore
I'm so closed off that I've put up a million doors

I don't know what I want right now
Abandoned ship is what it did somehow
Take all my baggage away from me
I need to be who I wanna be
Can't stop living for what other people see

I can't help myself
I've become someone else
But these shenanigans get old
I need to do what I've been told...or not

CHORUS
I gotta be brave
Brave
Gotta be brave

Somehow I planned out what I wanted
But nothing it turned out how I thought it would
So marvelous, so enchanting, so beautiful
That's wrong I guess, it's just something I think I know

Everything is falling down
I can't wait to hit the ground
Knowing what I do know now
I'm ready
To fall

CHORUS
Gotta be brave
Brave
Somebody save me
I'm ready to cave in
But that isn't happening
Bring on the challenges
I'll be brave
I'll be brave

BRIDGE
Somebody once said
I could be the things
Playing through my head
Without a Warning
But little did I know
The price of trying
Got my hopes down low
But I keep going, yeah I keep going

CHORUS
I Gotta be brave
Brave
Somebody save me
I'm ready to cave in
But that isn't happening
Bring on the challenges
You gotta be brave

I also have a NEW ALBUM out with five original songs! You can pick it up on itunes: http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/gracie-van-brunt-mini-deluxe/id496526895

As another person suffering with a rare disease (APS Type 1) I tip my hat to you because this song was not only amazing, but it's made me want to give a shot at composing a song for Rare Disease Day. Thank you for brightening my day and that of so many others!

[singerjello6]

@unitydutyand thank you so much! And I am actually already in the process of writing a song for Rare disease day this year =) My mom is the coordinator, so she asked me to sing again.

[terriedj]

This was beautiful.... and I totally understand the meaning behind it. I also suffer from a rare disease called MDDS. I am praying for you!

[singerjello6]

@terriedj girl you and I gotta stick together then. In fact, all of us with rare diseases gotta stick together and find a cure for them! I'm so glad you like the song and can connect with it because that is my goal with this song =)
