Courage Lyrics - Arena - Todd Rundgren

It's good to be the king, I've heard it said 

That's why I let you put a crown on my head 

Hoping that I'll never be forced to fake 

Actions that I'll 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 I'm wondering, what if I'm wrong? 

Every once in a while you'll 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 

I've always felt there's things you can't confide 

I need to be what I need to be 

However artificially 

And now I haven't 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 I'll never have you here 

Til I find the 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
