Velvet Courage” is a tribute to my daughter — a song born of the way she makes me strive to be more than I am. It blends smooth, shimmering tones with a bold new soundscape, leaving distorted guitars behind for a sleek, luminous vibe. A hymn to quiet strength and the velvet light that guides us home *** I used to carry you on my shoulders Through streets lit up in winter dark You’d press your cheek against my sweater Just to hear my beating heart *** I held your hand on your first school day Felt the lump down in my throat Never guessed how fast you’d wander Never guessed how far you’d go *** And you make me try To be better than I am Yeah, you make me try To be more than just a man Though you’re learning how to fly You’re the reason why I keep trying *** You’re singing truths I never dared to On stages where the spotlight shines Your courage stings me, kind of sweetly For all the dreams I left behind *** And though you’ve stumbled here and there And wiped your tears with your own hands You keep dancing through your battles Teaching me to take my stand *** ‘Cause you make me try To be better than I am Yeah, you make me try To be more than just a man Though you’re learning how to fly You’re the reason why I keep trying *** One more year and you’ll be leaving Trading childhood for your name But I’ll be cheering from the sidelines *** Sometimes I wish you’d stay my small one Tiny hand and sleepy eyes But I’m proud of who you’ve grown to You’re my strength and my surprisemore
