No attempt ever made
No courage to follow
A coward man was smart
A tale of such sorrow
One night along the street
He would run into fear
They would introduce themselves
And courage wouldn\'t interfere
He\'d get told of all the risks
And how it could go wrong
The trouble he could attract
Not worth all he could want
Fear would pull him back
From taking all the risks
So the man would be safe
But so much he would miss
He knew that fear was right
But courage he would need
As long as reason filled his head
Courage could only leave
Years went passing by
Fear remained by his side
The man believed in his reason
In his wits he\'d taken pride
Fear is your enemy
Fear you should resent
But the coward man was smart
So the fear was his friend
A quarrel with the courage
Could he be endeared
Can reason help find balance
Between courage and the fear
In a moment of misery
He realised he had lost
Chances he could have taken
Some things he loved the most
Such a day had arrived
Fear fled from his life
The reason went away
A hanging corpse left behind
