Brave from Afar Lyrics

[Chorus]
Brave from afar when I hold you for country
Saved by a star, can I hold you to one thing?

[Post-Chorus]
Do you feel safe when they tell you, they sell you?
Pray for your children, the shelter they're building

[Verse 1]
Prime time, the perfect crime
Bow my head, the axe we grind
Ruse cruise, P's and Q's
I got beat up by the evening news
Deep hits, the media blitz
Lost my mind to keep my wits
Maintain the same old same
Goodbye shiz and so long game

[Chorus]
Brave from afar when I hold you for country
Saved by a star, can I hold you to one thing?

[Post-Chorus]
Do you feel safe when they tell you, they sell you?
Pray for your children, the shelter they're building
[Instrumental Bridge]

[Verse 2]
Plain Jane, the big campaign
Last detail has been restrained
Fraud, fraud, the lightning rod
See that sign, time to applaud

[Chorus]
Brave from afar when I hold you for country
Saved by a star, can I hold you to one thing?

[Post-Chorus]
Do you feel safe when they tell you, they sell you?
Pray for your children, the shelter they're building

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
