I wish I was bold
Like heroes of old
I wish the world
Could be unfurled
I wish that hope wasn’t just a tool
It was new and something cool
I wish I could see
All that be
And all that was
If only just because
I wish to be bold
Be part of stories untold
To grasp the world in my fingers
Even if the darkness lingers
To hold my heart in my hands
Just to make sure the world understands
That light we make our own
And through our courage it has shown
That we are more
Then death and war
I wish for them to see
That for all we may be
The first choice for which we must strive
The one at which we must arrive
Is to be bold
