This is one of the most beautiful, amazing song I've heard. Thanks goes out to Kozar, Shadow, Nax, all of you, for this song and all you've done for me and my stories. I'd give you a hug, but I'm not sure if that's appropriate...

Brave

The gate is wide
The road is paved in moderation
The crowd is kind and quick to pull you in
Welcome to the middle ground
You're safe and sound and
Until now it's where I've been

'Cause it's been fear that ties me down to everything
But it's been love, Your love, that cuts the strings

So long status quo
I think I just let go
You make me want to be brave
The way it always was
Is no longer good enough
You make me want to be brave
Brave, brave

I am small
And I speak when I'm spoken to
But I am willing to risk it all
I say Your name
Just Your name and I'm ready to jump
Even ready to fall...

Why did I take this vow of compromise?
Why did I try to keep it all inside?

So long status quo
I think I just let go
You make me want to be brave
The way it always was
Is no longer good enough
You make me want to be brave
Brave, brave

I've never known a fire that didn't begin with a flame
Every storm will start with just a drop of rain
But if you believe in me
That changes everything
So long, I'm gone

So long status quo
I think I just let go
You make me want to be brave
I wanna be brave
The way it always was
Is no longer good enough
You make me want to be brave
Brave, brave

A/N: The thing about this song is that, I can put it in any poetry, any story, any fanfiction, and any earplug or MP3, and I'd know exactly how to write it. That's the type of song I like. The type I can do anything with. Anything. To top it all off, it's a Spiritual Song, and goes right into the category of the "Favourites". Effective now.

Oh yes, status report:

I managed a small lunch. Scratch that, it was a plate of rice. That was oily, yucks. Gross. One day, I'll raise enough money to make RGSS get healthier food. I mean, WHAT IS THIS? We're supposed to be smart, but with all the food they're giving us, we'd be better off without any.

Yes, so I had energy for judo. It was GREAT. So FUN. As in, we learnt/revised some of the most amazing throws I've ever learnt. Two "lift" throws, Two "tripping" throws, and One "reaping" throw. ho ho ho, I'm STRONG! But not as much as I'm sore. Ouch, Nicolette, I SWEAR, if you do that throw wrongly on wednesday, the reaping one, you know which one, I will KILL (nah, just maim you) you with my bare hands! My tailbone is sore like, well, really sore.
