Beautiful & Brave

Twilight falls
Day fades to night
One lonely ghost
Carries on the fight

Giving up is easy
When no ones seem to care
The sad songs we hear
When no one else is there

Every sorrow has its cost
Every dream something we lost
Everything we gave
Once beautiful and brave

We first fall in battle
In the provinces of lust
We cling to what we love
We love what we must

We know how it feels
When brittle dreams break
We tremble all alone
In the beds that we make

Every sorrow has its cost
Every dream something we lost
Everything we gave
Once beautiful and brave

Every night slowly ends
Surrenders to the sun
Every tired heart
Slowly stands to run

The lonely ghost of love
Lies down to wait
Like a young colt
Trembling at the gate

Every sorrow has its cost
Every dream something we lost
Everything we gave
Still remains
Beautiful and Brave
Beautiful and Brave

("Perhaps all the dragons of our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us once beautiful and brave." Rainer Maria Rilke)
