Courage
Courage is the price that Life exacts
Courage
Courage is the price that Life exacts for granting peace.
The soul that knows it not
Knows no release from little things
Knows not the livid loneliness of fear
Nor mountain heights where bitter joy can hear the sound of wings.
How can life grant us boon of living
Compensate for dull gray ugliness and pregnant hate
And pregnant hate
Unless we dare
Unless we dare
The soul′s dominion?
Each time we make a choice, we pay
With courage
With courage
To behold the resistless day
And count it fair
Courage
Courage is the price that Life exacts
