The gate is wide, the road is paved in moderation   The crowd is kind and quick to pull you in   Welcome to the middle ground   You're safe and sound and   Until now it's where I've been      'Cause it's been fear   That ties me down to everything   But it's been love, Your love   That cuts the strings      So long status quo, I think I just let go   You make me wanna be brave   The way it always was is no longer good enough   You make me wanna be brave   Brave, brave      I am small and I speak when I'm spoken to   But I am willing to risk it all   I say Your name, just Your name   And I'm ready to jump   Even ready to fall      Why did I   Take this vow of compromise?   Why did I   Try to keep it all inside?      So long status quo, I think I just let go   You make me want to be brave   The way it always was is no longer good enough   You make me wanna be brave   Brave, brave      I've never known a fire that didn't begin with a flame   And every storm will start with just a drop of rain   But if You believe in me that changes everything   So long, I'm gone      So long status quo, I think I just let go   You make me wanna be brave, I wanna be brave   The way it always was is no longer good enough   You make me wanna be brave   Brave, brave, brave
