Courage
Todd Rundgren

Its good to be the king, Ive heard it said

Thats why I let you put a crown on my head

Hoping that Ill never be forced to fake

Actions that Ill never have to take

I let you think I was a better man

With pretty words about how true I am

Humbly pretending to be brave and strong

Inside Im wondering, what if Im wrong?

Every once in a while youll see

Things are not what they seem to be

Like the moment you saw through me

Ah, but when push comes to shove

I had lost the thing I love

When I lost the courage of my convictions

(Courage of my convictions)

I never let you see my doubting side

Ive always felt theres things you cant confide

I need to be what I need to be

However artificially

And now I havent got a thing to show

For all the posing and the bravado

You tested me and I had to fail

No longer am I a super male

I was proud and I had to fall

Now my image has grown so small

And to think that I had it all

Ah, but when push came to shove

I had lost the thing I love

When I lost the courage of my convictions

(Courage of my convictions)

And I live in constant fear

That Ill never have you here

Til I find the courage of my convictions

(Courage of my convictions)

Ah, but when push comes to shove

I will have the thing I love

If I have the courage of my convictions

(Courage of my convictions)

And your heart I would enslave

And this whole world I would save

If I have the courage of my convictions

(Courage of my convictions
