Idina Menzel - Brave Lyrics

I don’t know just where i’m going
and tomorrow it’s a little overwhelming
and the air is cold and i’m not the same anymore
I’ve been running in your direction for too long now
I’ve lost my own reflection
and I can’t look down if you’re not there to catch me when I fall

If this is the moment I stand here on my own
If this is my right of passage that somehow leads me home
I might be afraid but it’s my turn to be brave
If this is the last chance before we say goodbye
at least it’s the first day of the rest of my life
I can’t be afraid ’cause it’s my turn to be brave

All along all I ever wanted was to be the light when your life was daunting
but i can’t see mine when I feel as though you’re pushing me away
Well, whose to blame?
Are we making the right choices?
‘Cause we can’t be sure if we’re hearing our own voices
As we close the door even though we are so desperate to stay

If this is the moment I stand here on my own
If this is my right of passage that somehow leads me home
I might be afraid but it’s my turn to be brave
If this is the last chance before we say goodbye
at least it’s the first day of the rest of my life
I can’t be afraid ’cause it’s my turn to be brave

and I might still cry
and I might still bleed
these thorns in my side
this heart on my sleeve
and lightning may strike this ground at my feet
and I might still crash
but I still believe

This is the moment I stand here all alone
With everything I have inside everything I own
I might be afraid but it’s my turn to be brave

If this is the last time before we say goodbye
at least it’s the first day of the rest of my life
I can’t be afraid it’s my turn to be brave

Idina Menzel, a Tony Award Winning Broadway Star for Rent in 1996 and another for Wicked in 2004 (and recently seen on screen in Enchanted), has made the leap from Broadway to music, which very few Broadway stars are able to do. Producer and songwriter Glen Ballard, who worked with rock and pop ranging from the Goo Goo Dolls and Shakira to Dave Matthews and Annie Lennox and of course, Alanis Morrissette co-wrote many of the songs with Menzel and help produce an excellant album.

Idina is a terrific singer, and I was amazed by the ranges she can go with her voice. The music sounds genuine and like it comes from experience. Her talent is obvious and she definitely set some high standards for herself and others to follow. Her Broadway skills helped her show a classic side for this album.

‘I Stand’ marks Menzel’s third solo album and features some of the power ballads that you’d expect from the musicals that she’s been in. Menzel is bold, brassy and has a powerful voice with wide ranges to her notes. She has the ability to sound soft and sweet on one track and intense and emotional on the next. The album talks about hope, faith, love, and loss, and sounds like any one of the numbers could have been from a Broadway show.

One of the better songs on the album is “Gorgeous,” a love song. “Where Do I Begin” is a touching love song, to which Menzel has admitted writing about husband Taye Diggs.
I Stand,” which is another tune about believing in oneself, and “Better to Have Loved” talks of pain and loss. “Brave,” encourages listeners to have bravery and helps overcome life’s troubles with phrases like, “I might be afraid/But it’s my turn to be brave.”

Menzel’s earlier work was raw, and had a strong acoustic sound on her first two albums. Therefore, you are in for a treat with “I Stand” It is full of instruments and backup singers that lend a hand in making this one of her best albums. This album is recommended for all sorts of listeners and ages. Idina Menzel’s album “I Stand,” is proof that a Broadway star can make a decent pop singer at the same time.
