Brave & Strong Lyrics

[Intro]
Well, well, well, well
Hey, hey, hey

[Verse 1]
Frightened faces to the wall
Oh, can't you hear your mama call?

[Chorus]
The brave and strong survive, oh yeah

[Verse 2]
When you walk
Know where you're walking
When you talk, oh

[Chorus]
Brave and strong survive

[Verse 3]
Out and down
Ain't got a friend
You don't know who turned you in

[Chorus]
The brave and strong survive
The brave and strong survive
[Verse 4]
Before me was a cowboy star
Indians
And there you are

[Chorus]
The brave and strong survive
The brave and strong survive, child
The brave and strong survive
The brave, oh, and strong, oh survive
The brave, oh, and strong, oh survive

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
