With Courage

My heart today
I put away
It only brings me pain
My eyes also
Away must go
I’m blind here all the same
Love, they say
You must give away
For the price of love is free
But it don’t build schools
Or hospitals
They’re government money
Oh, promise me
That cross the sea
Or somewhere here at home
There’s a strength to grow
In people
And with courage it will be
If sleep should come
Before I’m done
It was not meant to be
A fight tonight
I know is right
And lives on without me
Oh, promise me
That cross the see
Or somewhere here at home
There’s a strength to grow
In people
And with courage it will be
