Текст песни Courage - Todd Rundgren

Courage

It’s good to be the king, I’ve heard it said\nThat’s why I let you put a crown on my head\nHoping that I’ll never be forced to fake\nActions that I’ll never have to take\nI let you think I was a better man\nWith pretty words about how true I am\nHumbly pretending to be brave and strong\nInside I’m wondering, what if I’m wrong?\nEvery once in a while you’ll see\nThings are not what they seem to be\nLike the moment you saw through me\nAh, but when push comes to shove\nI had lost the thing I love\nWhen I lost the courage of my convictions\n(Courage of my convictions)\nI never let you see my doubting side\nI’ve always felt there’s things you can’t confide\nI need to be what I need to be\nHowever artificially\nAnd now I haven’t got a thing to show\nFor all the posing and the bravado\nYou tested me and I had to fail\nNo longer am I a super male\nI was proud and I had to fall\nNow my image has grown so small\nAnd to think that I had it all\nAh, but when push came to shove\nI had lost the thing I love\nWhen I lost the courage of my convictions\n(Courage of my convictions)\nAnd I live in constant fear\nThat I’ll never have you here\nTil I find the courage of my convictions\n(Courage of my convictions)\nAh, but when push comes to shove\nI will have the thing I love\nIf I have the courage of my convictions\n(Courage of my convictions)\nAnd your heart I would enslave\nAnd this whole world I would save\nIf I have the courage of my convictions\n(Courage of my convictions
