Be Brave

I am a bird in water, a whale on sand
I am the flood, the fire, the oil spill
I’m feeling scared and I am overwhelmed
And so I don my mask and finger bells

Sh-Sh-Sh-Shara now get to work
Sh-Sh-Sh-Sh-Sh-Shara this is going to hurt
Be brave dear one
Be-ye changed or be-ye undone
Be brave dear one
Be-ye changed or be-ye undone, undone

I am a slave, I’m under house arrest
I am the beater, I am beaten for less
Than being punk and feeling anger swell
And so I don my beaded dress and finger bells

Sh-Sh-Sh-Shara now get to work
Sh-Sh-Sh-Sh-Sh-Shara this is going to hurt
Be brave dear one
Be-ye changed or be-ye undone
Be brave dear one
Be-ye changed or be-ye undone, undone

It’s so hard, it’s so heavy
To be hungry, to be happy
It’s so light, it’s so easy just to be

It’s so hard, it’s so heavy
To be hungry, to be happy
It’s so light, it’s so easy just to be

Oh God, what would you do with me
Oh God, what’s my responsibility
God, what would you do with me
Oh God, what’s my responsibility

Sh-Sh-Sh-Shara now get to work
Sh-Sh-Sh-Sh-Sh-Shara this is going to hurt
Be brave dear one
Be-ye changed or be-ye undone
Be brave dear one
Be-ye changed or be-ye undone

Be brave dear one
Be changed or be undone
Be brave dear one
Be changed, be changed, be changed
Changed

Feeling Good

birds flying high you know how i feel
sun in the sky you know how i feel
reeds drifting on by you know how i feel
it’s a new dawn it’s a new day it’s a new life for me
and i’m feeling good

fish in the sea you know what I mean
river running free you know what I mean
blossom in the tree you know what I mean
it’s a new dawn it’s a new day it’s a new life for me
and i’m feeling good

dragonfly out in the sun
you know what i mean
butterflies are all having fun
you know what i mean
sleep in peace
when the day is done
and this old world is a new world and a bold world

and I'm feeling good

stars when you shine you know what I mean
scent of the pine you know what I mean
yeah freedom is mine
and I what I mean
it’s a new dawn it’s a new day it’s a new life for me
and i’m feeling good
