Braveheart
--FreeBird 02

How brave can my heart be
Is it once, twice or maybe even three?
This question frequently baffles me!

What determines
...what a Braveheart needs
To be considered for this deed?
Is it Valor, is it Deeds, is it Bowing on One Knee?
Is it traveling by day or traveling by night
Part of what proves his Heart so right.
Is it standing tall
…when knocked to the ground?
Is it pleading none
…when another sword claims his valor is done?
Or could it be…
Knowing when the battles done
Even though it's not won.
Or even still…
…could it be
Riding off into the sunset?
For all behind
…Stands so True
From Deeds he has delivered so True!
