I passed her in the hallways on most days back in 9^th grade

I wanted to be her romantic advisor, at least let her know my name

But I never even tried, it took me way too long to realize

Every morning we wake up with two choices

We can choose to be afraid or be courageous

The difference is a life that makes a difference

So go ahead if you dare, face your fear

And be courageous, be courageous, be courageous

Danny’s driving a city bus, working his forty plus, doing the things he must

He’s dreaming of college, soaking up knowledge and changing the obvious

Well Danny’s 64 today, tomorrow he becomes a freshman at state

Every morning we wake up with two choices

We can choose to be afraid or be courageous

The difference is a life that makes a difference

So go ahead if you dare, face your fear

And be courageous, be courageous, be courageous

What would you do if you knew you would not fail?

What would you do if you knew you would not fail?

I said what would you do if you knew you would not fail?

Every morning we wake up with two choices

We can choose to be afraid or be courageous

The difference is a life that makes a difference

So go ahead if you dare, face your fear

And be courageous be courageous, be courageous, be courageous
