Braver Self Roberta Schultz © 2007


1. Daddy scoots across the floor

He wheels that big cart ‘round the store

Though he can’t see much anymore

He’s got so much to look for

There’s just so much to look for

Chorus: He’s not the same as way back when

But he’s his braver self again

He’s hoping somewhere ‘round the bend

He’ll find a new beginning

Find a new beginning


2. Mama moves from place to place

That patient look etched on her face

A notebook filled with names and prayers for grace

A circle just for healing

A circle just for healing.

Chorus: She’s not the same as way back when

But she’s her braver self again

Believing somewhere ‘round the bend

We find a new beginning

Find a new beginning


Bridge: So, on in time we go

That clock isn’t movin’ slow

Like we are and we know-o-o( woe, woe, woe)




3. I push a rock on up the hill

It tumbles down almost at will

I hear the laughter loud and shrill

And I want to throw my hands up

Just want to throw my hands up

Chorus: I’m not the same as way back when

But I’m my braver self again

And when that rocks rolls down the hill

I find a new beginning

Find a new beginning

4. I’m on the dock, I missed the boat

Some of my friends are gonna gloat(I told you so)

How can I keep this dream afloat

Beside an empty harbor

Beside an empty harbor?

Chorus: I’m not the same as way back when

Now I’m my braver self again

And when my ship comes rolling in,

I’ll find a new beginning

Find a new beginning

Find a new beginning

Find a new beginning
