Track 04
Read the Storm
Brave is not never being scared; it is reading the storm instead of fighting it.
ChapterThe storm
LessonBrave isn't "never scared" — you can do hard things
Some words are underlined. Tap one to find out what it means.
The sky went grey… the wind got loud…
but the little bird whispered, "Okay. Okay."
,
the rain went tippy-tap,
the little pilot's tummy flipped—
"I think I'll just… turn back?"
But brave's not "never wobbly,"
and brave's not "never scared"—
brave is just one more little breath
and a wing held in the air.
So don't fight the storm—read it! (read it!)
feel which way to lean,
, hold your line,
!
You're stronger than the thunder, (boom!)
braver than you knew—
the storm will tire out first,
little bird… not you.
Wind Reader said, "Feel the air,"
Hold the Line held tight,
just grinned and grinned
and steered into the night.
And when it's dark and the rain won't stop,
and you're —
say it soft: "a wing and a prayer"…
you are not alone. (big drums) WHOA—
…and . And there was the moon.
Words in this song
Thunder did a grumpy roll
A roll of thunder is the long, low rumbling sound that goes on and on, rather than one sharp crack.
tip a wing
Leaning the aircraft over to one side. It is how you turn, and how you let a gust slide past instead of hitting you flat on.
ride the in-between
The in-between is the calmer air between the worst parts of a storm. A good pilot looks for it rather than charging straight through.
Against the Odds
Doing something when everything says you probably cannot. The odds are what is likely to happen; going against them is trying anyway.
shaky to the bone
Shaking so much that it feels as though it goes all the way through you, right down to your bones.
the clouds peeked open
To peek is to look through a small gap. Here the clouds part just enough to let the moon show — the storm ending, quietly.
