about

"Brave" is my tribute to those who seek refuge. It is a song about the refugees' plight from war, injustice, oppression, loneliness, pain, betrayal, and indifference. It is also a song of hope, of understanding, of caring. We are all refugees in this world, always looking for peace, freedom, and love. Let us give to those in need.

lyrics

Tell me am I brave
Climbing mountains blind with nothing but faith
Somehow I believe
Freedom's open arms will shout and receive
People in need hiding from fear
War-torn, helpless, hungry and dying
Pride gone, homes burned, blood shed
Will this please end.

Tell me am I scared
Crossing ocean's hell of darkness and pain
Somehow I can see
The shoreline holds a flag of sympathy
Please carry the weak, rescue the child
Hands reach, help us, hear us, we're trying
Are we worthy, my family's
All I live for.

I welcome you my neighbor, my friend
I give you sanctuary and peace
Humanity is strong, the soul is giving
I take your hand, together we bear
A courage deep, a heart that cares
My home's your home, my cup I give to share
To share.

Do I have a chance
Hands are tied and justice shatters like glass
Somehow hope is near
The storm will someday pass and disappear

Salaam alaikum
Namaste
Shalom
Peace be with you
We are here
for you, for you
