'''''Take Courage''''' is the first single released by [[Mark Eitzel]], released in 1991 while [[American Music Club]] were still together. A different acoustic studio version of the song was included on his 1991 solo live album, ''[[Songs Of Love Live]]''.

==Lyrics==
Take the rings off your fingers 
as if they were tears 
and find a new kind of beauty 
to put a silver lining on your golden years 
All your clever talk and your glamour 
bright lies you don't hear anymore 
You've gone so far out 
all you want is the tide to take you back to the shore

Take courage 
Take courage, said the sign

You used to wait for it every morning 
Now you are looking so dumb 
and they don't see you standing there 
Trying to figure out why all your promises 
left you hanging in mid-air 
And you lost your war of words, 
but your heart was strong. 
You said, "the dirt can have my pretty things, 
but to the earth my heart does not belong."
