Keep Me Brave

Part of you was torn away

As you rock in that aftermath
Maybe you question why you’re still here

While I have not lived your life
I have lived mine
And mine has lead me to exactly who I am today
Lead me to what I need today
Lead me to my fears today 

For what it’s worth, what you offer
Keeps me brave today
Keeps me afloat today
Keeps me breathing today
