about

Tamiko was inspired to write this song after reading the book "Daring Greatly" by professor, lecturer, and author Brené Brown.

lyrics

Sometimes there’s a call,
A call to dare greatly.
And then I hear fear
Whisper fiction in my ear.
These thoughts are braided together,
But fear won’t be a tether that binds up my heart
If I can uncover courage and trust
When the way is not clear.

If I can be brave, brave,
Brave enough to start,
Even with the risk of taking down
the armor 'round my heart.

We’ve had to lean,
Lean into failure,
Wrap our arms around and return
Its empty embrace.
Stop trying to hide behind
Stacked bricks of pride that keep us apart,
Hold missteps in the light
And then stare our fright straight in the face.

If I can be brave, brave,
Brave enough to start,
Even with the risk of taking down
The armor 'round our hearts.

One day you’ll look back on the journey.
When you chose to love your shadows, you felt real.
And when you were brave enough to let your heart be open
The truth ran rivers and you were free to feel.

Yes, you are brave, brave,
Brave enough to start,
Even with the risk of taking down
The armor 'round your heart.

And the beauty inside
You no longer hide
Behind the armor 'round your heart.
