Become the Braver
I wrote this in the 2020 lockdowns and recorded this rough demo in Feb 2022. To me it means more now; as we make a better world from the layers of lies and corruption.
Become the Braver (Remember When) - Alan Chapman
Remember when, we'd sing, and dance, and hold each other very very tight, every little chance we had.
Remember when, we'd kiss, kiss family and friends, and hold the hands of strangers,
Before we were convinced of danger.
Remember smiles, seeing faces, ball games and races, crowds and fun to be in places any time. The ways that we are born free such a crazy daze.
Now what is real? The air we breathe. What to believe? The false economy of arrangers?
Before we were convinced of danger.
Now what is love, and life and what convinced us? Lies about everyone and everything, and not to question those who profit from this madness.
So sing and dance, yeh yeh yeh, and kiss and hold and smile and breathe and share this song, and make it more and make it so we change things.
So we, become the braver.
So we become the braver.
So we become the braver.
