Courage

Take all my vicious words
And turn them into something good
Take all my preconceptions
And let the truth be understood

Take all my prized possessions
Leave only what I need
Take all my pieces of doubt
And let me be what's underneath

Courage is when you're afraid,
But you keep on moving anyway
Courage is when you're in pain,
But you keep on living anyway

We all have excuses why
Living in fear something in us dies
Like a bird with broken wings
It's not how high he flies,
But the song he sings

Courage is when you're afraid,
But you keep on moving anyway
Courage is when you're in pain,
But you keep on living anyway

It's not how many times you've been knocked down
It's how many times you get back up
Courage is when you've lost your way,
But you find your strength anyway

Courage is when you're afraid
Courage is when it all seems grey
Courage is when you make a change,
And you keep on living anyway

You keep on moving anyway
You keep on giving anyway
You keep on loving anyway


That's the latest single by Orianthi.. though I think the song isn't new. I've known for a long time courage isn't the same as being fearless. I guess I consider myself rather fearless.. whether it's about catching critters, handling sparking wires, or other random stuff. Yet I'm learning there are things I'm scared of, and that's where I'll have to find courage.

Anyway, today's run (walk, actually) went well despite the sun. I walked eight kilometres without my knee hurting, so I ran a half click before walking again. Then I ran the last kilometre. My knee isn't fully recovered yet - the pain still developed after a while, but the pain is becoming duller and goes away more quickly. I take this as a sign it's healing - thank God :)


Everything else seems to be coming together - though I'm falling apart.
