The infectious song, which the pop
performer wrote with fun. lead guitarist Jack Antonoff, was actually inspired
by one of Sara's close friends, who was struggling with coming out of the
closet.
“You can be amazing," she
croons. "You can turn a phrase into a weapon or a drug. You can be the
outcast or be the backlash of somebody’s lack of love or you can start speaking
up."
The appropriately upbeat and
energetic video features folks of all ages, races, and sizes breaking loose and
dancing like there's no tomorrow in public settings like the mall, the gym, and
on the street. In fact, that sassy gentleman busting a move in the library
might just be our spirit animal.
"Brave" is the first single
from Sara's third studio album, The Blessed Unrest.
You can be amazing
You can turn a phrase into a weapon
or a drug
You can be the outcast
Or be the backlash of somebody’s lack
of love
Or you can start speaking up
Nothing’s gonna hurt you the way that
words do
And they settle ‘neath your skin
Kept on the inside and no sunlight
Sometimes a shadow wins
But I wonder what would happen if you
Say what you wanna say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
With what you want to say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I wanna see you be brave
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I wanna see you be brave
Everybody’s been there, everybody’s
been stared down
By the enemy
Fallen for the fear and done some
disappearing
Bow down to the mighty
Don’t run, stop holding your tongue
Maybe there’s a way out of the cage
where you live
Maybe one of these days you can let
the light in
Show me how big your brave is
Say what you wanna say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
With what you want to say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
Innocence, your history of silence
Won’t do you any good
Did you think it would?
Let your words be anything but empty
Why don’t you tell them the truth?
Say what you wanna say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
With what you want to say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I wanna see you be brave
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I wanna see you be brave
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I wanna see you be brave
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
