Only The Brave One

Only the brave one can smile though not winning only the brave are gracious in defeat Only the brave one though seen as successful never does show any sign of conceit If for some reason from the Queen you do not accept a knighthood that does not prove lack of grace on your part That only proves that you are a good person that you are one who does follow your heart You've proved yourself in the heat of the battle and you became a hero when the war was won It has been said that your victims were many but everyone you killed was some mother's son Many see you as a brave ageing hero a hero once and a hero today But I am not one who agrees with the many I look at life in a different way On what is brave I do have my opinions but that doesn't mean my opinions are right I've never discharged a gun at another for God or Country I never would fight Maybe I do seem off in my opinions but that's your opinion and that suits me fine You belong to what's known as majority thinking but are your opinions much better than mine Only the brave one will speak for the oppressed one that's my opinion though I'm far from brave But fear is a thing that helps me to keep living I fear the coldness of the earthy grave. --------------------
