"Some Of Us Are Brave" lyrics

"Some Of Us Are Brave"

If the sky were to fall, I'd be the first to call
Some of us, some of us are brave
Who's gonna feel my pain? Who's gonna say my name?
Ain't no choice but to be brave

Peace and love to the ones who give praise
Take a bow as the sun hits the face
See me now, golden hour
And to those who fear leads them to hate
What a pity to be locked in a place
You see me now
I'll show you how

I'll show you how
I'll show you how
I'll show you how
I'll show you how

Peace and love to the ones who give praise
Take a bow as the light hits the face
See me now, I'm loud and proud
And to those who fear leads them to hate
What a pity to be locked in that place, I know
You see me though
Cause the breeze don't blow cause you want it
And the sun gon' shine regardless
I'm here to stay
I'm here to stay

All we want is to be ourselves
And shine our light with no problems
We don't want problems
I do believe that the power in me
Frightens you, that's your problem
That's your problem

I say the darker the berry, the sweeter the fruit
The kinkier the hair the deeper the roots
Bow down when the queendom comes
Take note when we speak our tongues
Darker the berry the sweeter the fruit
Give her her crown when she walks in the room
We are the first ones
We are light of the sun

All we want is to be ourselves
And shine our light with no problems
We don't want problems
I do believe that the power in me
Frightens you, that's your problem
That's your problem

Black like the earth to the world we gave birth
Hair to the sky so much cool in our stride
I'll show you how
I'll show you how
