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 wanna be brave
The way it always was is no longer good enough
You make me wanna 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 wanna be brave
Brave, brave

I've never known a fire that didn't begin with a flame
And 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 wanna be brave, I wanna be brave
The way it always was is no longer good enough
You make me wanna be brave
Brave, brave, brave

The crowd is kind and quick to pull you in
Welcome to the middle ground
