Braver is one of the deleted songs of Disney's 2003 animated sequel, The Jungle Book 2.
Background[]
It was to be sung by Shanti, who is lost in the jungle looking for Mowgli. The reasons why it was deleted in the final version of the film are because it was difficult into making The Jungle Book 2 a musical into developing a song and also because this film focuses on Mowgli the most with Shanti in the final film having a supporting role.
Lyrics[]
Shanti: Since I don’t know where I’m going
And there might be far to go
I’ll imagine that I’m braver
Braver than I know
Every time I start to tremble
Knowing this is not a dream
I'll remind myself I'm braver
Braver than I seem
This jungle's full of noises
And it seems to have no end
But I'm not leaving until I've find my friend
If we smile at shapes and shadows
If we laugh when tigers roar
Bit by bit, we grow much braver
Braver than before
When I'm standing in the sunshine
And my fearful journey's through
I'll be glad that I was braver than I knew
I'll be glad that I was braver
Braver than I knew
Braver than I knew
