Have Courage

Moving song. Have courage By Michelle Morris 11/04/2023 Oh, to have courage In a world of darkness To stumble and fall Through the chambers Like a bullet travelling Through a gun It never ever Breaks even For justice is seldom done And vengeance is all the rage To be good and kind and pure Takes enlightenment of ages "I shall overcome" we say To nobody in the room For our spirit, it gets worn Our mind eventually feels the gloom Underneath our Sun These violent delights are sought Dead men tell no tales tonight When violent ends are wrought Oh, to have courage In a world of darkness To stumble and fall Through the chambers Like a bullet travelling Through a gun It never ever Breaks even For justice remains blind And vengeance is God's domain To be good and kind and pure Takes effort and patience and grace "I shall overcome" we say And we try again each day For our spirit, it needs hope Our mind needs something to focus on Underneath our Sun These violent delights keep going The dead live in coffins we bury And the living try to cope with the losses Oh, to have courage In a world of darkness To stumble and fall Through the chambers Like a bullet travelling Through a gun It never ever Breaks even Oh, to have courage In a world of darkness To stumble and fall Through the chambers Like a bullet travelling Through a gun It never ever Breaks even © Michelle Morris, 2023
