The Brave Chicken

Five chicken eggs

Lay in their mothers nest

Five chicken eggs

Lay under their mothers chest

Hours go by

Then days

Then weeks

But the strength of my shell is greater than the strength of my beak

Four chickens have hatched now

A magnificent sight to see

I’m in here trying

Don’t forget about me!

A brave chicken

That’s what I’ll be!

I will be a brave chicken

Just you wait and see!

All I have to do

Is get out of this shell

How long it will take

There’s no way to tell

But being a brave chicken

That’s what I’ll be!

I will be a brave chicken

Just you wait and see!

Four baby chickens

Growing up and learning to fly

I see them in the tree now

They sure have passed me by

But today is my day

It’s never too late to try

Today is my day!

Today I’m going to fly!

A brave chicken

That’s what I’ll be!

I will be a brave chicken

Just you wait and see!

All I have to do

Is get from here to there

I’ll look down with great pride

As I’m flying through the air

Because being a brave chicken

That’s what I’ll be!

I will be a brave chicken

Just you wait and see!

Five grown up chickens

Looking for a leader of the flock

Looking for a protector

Looking for a rock

I can be that chicken

I can be that rock

I can be the protector

I can lead this flock

Because a brave chicken

That’s what I am!

I am a brave chicken!

Yes sir, yes ma’am!

All I have to do

Is stand tall beside my peers

It won’t all be easy

But I will face all of my fears!

Because being a brave chicken

One who is persistent and strong

Looks like being a brave chicken

Is what I’ve been all along

Five chicken eggs

Lay in their mothers nest

Five chicken eggs

Lay under their mothers chest
