“How Much Courage Have You Got”
How much courage have you got
How hard have you worked How long have you fought
To get to this place in your life which you always sought
Had to get to this place in order to get to the next stage
I remember planning it all so well in my idle thoughts
Now again when all looks lost
I get this urge to throw in the towel
Even if it’s only for a while
But somehow I have to remain strong
Even when my life is turning out all wrong
How much courage have you got
Do you remember how hard you fought
Can you rise to the occasion again
To fight a battle you know you can’t win
But maybe just holding your own is a win
Can you rise to the occasion again
Remember how hard you fought
Do you want to throw in the towel
How much courage have you got
It comes from inside but I can’t say where
I want to quit
But I searched all through me and there’s no quit in there
And somehow I continue to care
I fight through the hopelessness and fear
And with the future looking so very bleak
And feeling like I’ve been thrown to the snakes in the pit
I do things others
would never dare
How much courage have you got
How hard have you worked how long have you fought
Do you want to throw in the towel
If you do then do it now
You got the towel in your hand
But the hand’s not moving anywhere
Because you can’t
I’ve seen you in too many tight spots
The things you’ve learned
And the things you’ve taught
To let it all go for not
How much courage have you got
How long have you worked how long have you fought
To get to this place in you life which you always sought
Had to get to this place in order to get to the next stage
I remember planning it all so well in my idle thoughts
Can you rise to the occasion again
To fight a battle you know you can’t win
But holding on is a win
And as long as you got life
You’ll find the courage to do it again and again
