A música Brave foi inspirada por uma amiga próxima de Sara Bareilles que estava lutando para sair do armário. Bareilles queria criar uma música que oferecesse encorajamento e apoio durante esse tempo difícil. A letra incentiva as pessoas a falar o que pensam e a serem corajosas diante dos desafios.

G
You can be amazing
G
You can turn a phrase into a weapon or a drug
Em
You can be the outcast
Em
Or be the backlash of somebody’s lack of love
C
D
Or you can start speaking up
G
Nothing’s gonna hurt you the way that words do
G
And they settle ‘neath your skin
Em
Kept on the inside and no sunlight
C
Sometimes a shadow wins
D
But I wonder what would happen if you
G
Say what you wanna say
Em
C
And let the words fall out
D
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
G
With what you want to say
Em
C
And let the words fall out
D
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
G
I just wanna see you
C
I just wanna see you
Em
I just wanna see you
D
I wanna see you be brave
G
I just wanna see you
C
I just wanna see you
Em
I just wanna see you
D
I wanna see you be brave
G
Everybody’s been there, everybody’s been stared down
G
By the enemy
Em
Fallen for the fear and done some disappearing
Em
Bow down to the mighty
C
D
Don’t run, stop holding your tongue
G
Maybe there’s a way out of the cage where you live
