A Question of Courage

Have you known a courageous man
The intrepid,a damsel brave at heart
Have you encountered a fearless woman
The valiant,a lad who would dare the stars
It is not a matter of strength
B'cos giants have fallen before little men
It is a question of courage
Young David fell goliath not minding his age

The days may turn darker than the night
The obstacle may weigh you down with all 
might
Dont you grope around like the blind
Stay steady and plant your feet like the hind
Its a question of courage

When the chips are down
And the waters so fierce that you might 
drown
Don't you give up
Its just a storm in a tea cup
A question of courage

When the way is so blurred and dim
That you could barely see a thing
Don't stop going ahead
Those lands you now walk,no man has 
tread
A question of courage

When it seem to be all dark and gloom
And all you see and can think is doom
Don't you quit
The last obstacle is about to tilt
Its all a question of courage

Acting regardless of your fears
Acting amidst the dreads
Holding sway not minding the threats so 
high
Almost down but keeping your head up 
high.
A question of your courage.
