BRAVE FACE

Where do I begin?

Before I knew about AI, I never could have imagined myself as a writer, a content creator, or even a blogger. At that time, I almost gave up on so many things I can now do with confidence.

Then ChatGPT came into my life, and I began to see things differently. I realized I didn’t need to be a professional songwriter to write and listen to my own lyrics.

The first song I created was Brave Face. It came straight from my everyday life — the quiet struggles no one knows about, the weight I carry but rarely share. I’d rather hold it close than let it show.

But Brave Face gave those feelings a voice. It reminded me that I’m not alone — there are others, like me, braving life every single day.

Bridge:

In the middle of writing Brave Face, I realised my pain wasn’t mine alone. It echoed the hidden storms others carry, the quiet strength that so often goes unseen. That’s why I couldn’t keep these words only for myself — they had to live for all of us, as part of our shared journey.

Outro:

Brave Face was never just about me. It’s about the way we all evolve, the way our consciousness grows, and the rights we all carry as humans. Writing it was my way of collaborating with that process — of turning pain into creation, and silence into something that speaks.

Lyrics: 

[Intro, Gentle piano, slow heart-beat rhythm]

[Verse 1]

I walk through crowds with the smile they trust but inside I’m dust
I got worries I don’t say out loud
Bills I can’t pay, heads in the cloud’s
Shopping bags filled with nothing but air
But I still act like I don’t care

[Pre-Chorus, Soft strings join]

Don’t ask me how I’m doing, I’ll just lie and keep it moving.
I wear a brave face hide the cracks and pain with grace
I laugh so no one sees me drown
Smile so they won’t look down.
No one knows the war I fight
In the silence of the night But I keep going anyway behind this brave face

[Verse 2]
I lower my hopes so I won’t fall
Expecting nothing feels safest of all
The world is full of people like me
Faking strength just to breathe

[Pre-Chorus]

We carry storms no one can see, but still we show up quietly

[Chorus]

I wear a brave face Hide the cracks and pain with grace
I laugh so no one sees me drown
Smile so they won’t look down
No one knows the war I fight
In the silence of the night
But I keep going anyway.
Behind this brave face

[Bridge, Whispered piano line]

If someone asked, I might fall apart
But no one does… so I guard my heart

[Chorus]

Final – more fragile, emotional crescendo]

I wear a brave face It’s the only one I’ve got these days
And though it hurts to feel alone
It’s the only strength I’ve ever known
So I keep walking through the rain
Carrying joy and carrying pain
Behind this brave face…
Behind this brave face
[Outro, Faint heartbeat, fading piano]
(Still here… still brave)

LET THERE BE MUSIC

Reflection

As a child and as far as the memories can carry me to where it all begun. I loved music then or singing church hymns and listening to my language programme on air. That’s how all our local Sting Bands music were recorded and played, every Mondays. I followed music to my grandfathers house since he had a radio and would listen, most times the signals were that bad reflecting back now, that made me smile. As one of the borders at the mission school it was tough no food supplies, parents are faraway from school so the only way I know how was in order to survive you have to have few squares of the earth to plant your roots. Up on the mountainside, alone I can always sing my heart out.
