Waterdeep - Cowards Never Win Lyrics

written by Don Chaffer on 11/21/96 at 23:41



The first day of class, they

call out your name

and you have to reply

even if you're shy.



And if you choose to

pretend you didn't hear

They'd think that you weren't there

And they'd keep on breathing air

without you.



CHORUS

Cowards never win

They're torn up in the wind

And everyone forgets to ask their name

If you wonder why

people don't want to die

It's cause they're too scared to deal with their blame



If you sit through

a wedding now and then

You'll feel the heaviness in the room

rest on the bride and groom



And when they say they

understand the vows

each one gives a life

to become man and wife



BRIDGE

Every naive dream we have

doesn't always please us

But up on every cross you bear

is the long awaited Jesus



The last day of class they

call out your name

And if you don't reply

They'll all just wonder why



CHORUS

Cowards never win

But when they feel the wind

They get the chance to take a brand new name

So don't believe the lie

that there's no reason you should try

Because there's a way to deal with your blame
