Truth Be Told

Teach me how to be brave in my last day

You grew up in a broken home

And your mother said the porch was your bed

Manipulating your father into confinement

Just so they could cut the hairs from your head

They tried to steal your strength and beauty away

Forcing betrayal of a man I barely knew

Abandoned and thrown between white walls

But they could never they will never break you

When they put the gun to your head

An angel stood between you and the trigger

When they said your breath was worth nothing

You made them listen to the voice of a leader

Teach me how to be brave in my last day

You awoke to empty hands so you

Worked them to the barest of bones

You were found knocked out with blood on the floor

But they could never they will never break you

When they put the gun to your head

An angel stood between you and the trigger

When they said your breath was worth nothing

You made them listen to the voice of a leader

Teach me how to be brave even in my dying day

The truth could never be taken from your lips

The shortness of breath you were

Clutching your chest

The world went black but for only a moment

Your eyes and they locked to mine

Never afraid you were never broken

I see now as you're reaching out

You never let a second pass away

You never let a second pass away

Unbreakable reflection of grace

Teach me how to be brave in my last day

Teach me how to be brave in my last day

Teach me how to be brave in my last day

Teach me how to be brave in my last day
