I remember the first time I heard my own voice It wasn't quite music, just a fumbling noise The sound sneaking out in my very own words Momma said was the prettiest song that she'd heard Second grade homeroom, I remember it well It was my turn to share for the cla** show-and-tell I couldn't find something from my room to bring Momma said, darlin', why don't you sing Sing them a song you feel deep in your heart Sing it with everything that you are Sing ‘til your voice echoes all through the room Pick a good one but whatever you do Sing brave Sing brave My teenage soapbox was a Gibson guitar I played that old ax on the back of my car There must have been thousands of songs hid inside
But I just kept diggin’ to see what I'd find And His name was Jesus, I heard from a friend Seemed all of my life I'd been looking for Him See my voice was changing Now my heart was, too This boy was singing a different tune Now every night before I walk on stage All of my bu*terflies just fly away (fly away) ‘Cause Jesus is listening, yeah, I know He's here When love's in the room, you got nothing to fear He says, sing me a song you feel deep in your heart Sing it with everything that you are Sing ‘til your voice dances all through the room Pick a good one, but whatever you do Sing brave Sing brave Sing brave (sing brave) Sing brave
