Packed her bags and left her home
And all that she had ever known
In search of hope, in search of dreams
The land of opportunity
If life were fair, it wouldn’t force her to go a thousand miles away
Desperate to leave, she’s got to go, but yearning to stay
Young, brave and free
That’s how it’s meant to be
Young, brave and free
For some, it’s just a dream
Young, brave and free
Is never guaranteed
Young, brave and free
In whose reality?
Across the border, on the other side
A daily struggle just to survive
Its unforgiving, it’s live or die
In the big, bad world, it’s an eye for an eye
If life were fair, it wouldn’t force her to go a thousand miles away
Desperate to leave, she’s got to go, but yearning to stay
Young, brave and free
That’s how it’s meant to be
Young, brave and free
For some, it’s just a dream
Young, brave and free
Is never guaranteed
Young, brave and free
In whose reality?
And to all of us, it’s our responsibility,
To show the world some empathy.
If you have a voice, then shout out and shout loud
Ah ah ah ah
Young, brave and free
That’s how it’s meant to be
Young, brave and free
For some, it’s just a dream
Young, brave and free
Is never guaranteed
Young, brave and free
In whose reality?
Young, brave and free
In whose reality?
Young, brave and free
