When I started this blog, never knew, I would be able to write anything.... It was just created....
But then gathered strenght to face this challenge of writing..... and thought that whatever I write and comes on it would be from heart ( a sensitive, gentle & silly indeed!) but it would be of truth.... that what I believe in & that what I stand for......
Like many believed " Have faith & everything will be fine oneday!"....... me too on the same line tried.... then had this courage to do..... well.... hopefully some inscriptions would be making sense here too....
It takes courage to answer a call.
It takes courage to give to all.
It takes courage to risk your name.
It takes courage to be true.
It takes courage to dare- what no other will share.
To be standing alone with whom no one will.
To be ready to stake for another man's sake.
It takes courage to be true.
It takes courage to say what no other will pay.
To give each man his share.
Though there will be less to spare.
To be seeking no more than the neighbour next door.
It takes courage to be true.
Hope I have a courage to continue...... and be true........
Thanks to those who read and commented here..... and thanks to those who passed by silently too.....

Hi ! I remember this song from school. Which school did you go to ? Do you have the complete lyrics of this song ? I would be grateful if you send it to me at ranjan.bhattacharyya(at)gmail.com
Thanks.
Hello,
I have enjoyed reading your blog. I am interested in the lyrics to the song about Courage. I grew up in Bangalore and sang this song in school. Do you have the rest of the lyrics to the second verse? Please list it on your blog or send it to me at anjaleoni@mac.com.
I would sincerely appreciate it. I would like to use this song at church for my parents 50th Anniversary celebration and I am unable to find the words elsewhere.
Thank you,
Sundari
Not sure about it, but can add for the song on the 50th Anniversary of your parents. My best wishes to them :-)
It takes courage…
To be your own!
It takes courage,
To answer a call…
It takes courage…
To be true!
It takes courage,
To just be “you”.
In being “you”…
Just don’t forget who!
You wanna be true…
In whatever you say or do!
’Cos truth can generate a storm,
Upon yourself only to harm!...
’Cos being “true”…takes a lot of courage!...
To touch base and be on the same page.
It takes courage.. in jus’ being “YOU” !
Dear, Thanks alot for this beautiful draft, I used ot have it in my carol book when I was in my school and found no means to get it. Its really close to me.
Yes! it takes a lot of courage to be true!!!
I learnt the song in ‘68. Since hen these words have been on my lips specially when I had to take a stand and everybody else moved away.
I continue to motivate myself with those magic words to date. Between 09.09.2011 and 26.09.2011, I had to sing them so many times to keep my spirits up. And it worked miracles… On 27.09.2011, the Hon’ble Guwahati High Court vindicated the stand I had taken against the very mighty and powerful – District administration, Police, Politicians, and fringe village “leaders” who were out to exploit the poor are ignorant of their ‘Rights’ as citizens of “FREE INDIA”
All the best to you,
