about

“Bold,” the EP’s closing song, was written for a former romantic partner, someone whom – though he didn’t think it of himself – Majoko admired for his commitment to go confidently where life took him.

lyrics

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Easy as a Summer breeze
Soft, sweet and delicate
Qualities I once deemed unseen
You came along, proved me wrong

Your qualities, simplicities, abilities
Floating upstream
To your destiny
Pursuit of the easy life, Gospel of paradise

(Oh you are bold)
Giving courage a new beginning (Ah)
(Hope void of fear)
You make everything everlasting (Ah)

Oh (Oh)
You are (You are)
Bold (Bold)

Looking at a perfect ten (Huh)
What you are and what you have (Ah)
An all authentic man (Authentic man)
In you, I can't pretend

I wanna lose myself (Lose myself)
In your complexities, simplicities (Flowing up-stream)
To your destiny (Mhmm...)
Pursuit of the easy life, Gospel of paradise (Gospel of paradise)

(Oh you are bold)
Giving courage a new beginning (Ah)
(Hope void of fear)
You make everything everlasting (Ah)

Oh (Oh)
Bold (You are)
(Bold)

I imagine your melody (Ha-ha-ha)
Wraps me in fantasy (Ha-ha-ha)
Chromatic to some degree (Ha-ha-ha)
Soulful and happy (Ha-ha-ha)

A choir of voices sing (Mhmm)
They sing, "I will be free" (I will be free)
An effortless phrase to me (Ha-ha-ha)

You know that's who you are
Darling, you know
That's who you are
You are

If I could find what you describe
When you tell me to fight
The fear inside
And I would reach out

To how you need nothing more
Than your dream
How your spirit withstands adversity

You are the Sun
And here you are
You are, you are (Ah)

(Oh you are bold)
Giving courage a new beginning (Ah)
(Hope void of fear)
You make everything everlasting (Ah)

(Oh you are bold)
Giving courage a new beginning (Ah)
(Hope void of fear)
You make everything everlasting (Ah)

(Oh, you are)
You are
(Bold)
