John Wayne said
"Courage is when you're scared to death
But you saddle up anyway"

You saddle up anyway
That's how you lived
Like a mustang running wild

Straight through your pain
You would say


I can let it swallow me
I can let it take me down
I can let it run my dreams into the ground

All because of you
There's nothing I can't face
Even on my hardest day

Even on my hardest day

By you bed

I learned the truth of life and death
And when I'm meant to be brave
Oh, when I'm meant to be brave

So I'm gonna live
Like a fire raging in the rain
Moving through the pain

And I say

I won't let it swallow me

I won't let it take me down
I won't let it run my dreams into the ground
All because of you

There's nothing I can't face
Even on my hardest day
Even on my hardest day


I find the words when I can't speak
I find my song when I can't sing

I'll run the race, run the race when I can't move
It's all because of you
All because of you


I won't let it swallow me
I won't let it take me down

I won't let it run my dreams into the ground
All because of you
There's nothing I can't face

Even on my hardest day
Even on my hardest day
