Put on Your Brave Face Mary lyrics

[Verse 1]
Mary fought back tears when she saw that far off look in his eyes
Said, "What'd they do to you, baby? I can feel you dying inside
I got your six just like you've always had mine
And these invisible scars don't change the man you are
Everything's gonna be all right"

[Chorus]
Put on your brave face, Mary
Put on your brave face
Put on your brave face, Mary
Put on your brave face

[Verse 2]
VA's understaffed and the lines are around the block
So he calls up the hotline but nobody there has the time to talk
They're backed up for days and dealing with demons they don't understand
Mary holds the line while he takes matters into his own hands

[Chorus]
Put on your brave face, Mary
Put on your brave face
Put on your brave face, Mary
Put on your brave face

[Verse 3]
Now he's fighting for his life, and Mary, she's a rock
It's all over the news so Washington's gearing up to talk the talk
Seven hundred billion and somehow not enough to go around
So the price we pay are the twenty-two a day committed to the ground
[Chorus]
Put on your brave face, Mary
Put on your brave face
Put on your brave face, Mary
Put on your brave face
Put on your brave face, Mary
Put on your brave face
Put on your brave face, Mary
