Question
Hi! I am wondering if you can tell me what this line means: "takes the work out of the courage" in the song, grey street. Thanks!

Answer
Hey Vic!

Well, I don't think you can take that one line out of what the stranger outside her door says.  If you listen to what he says, "Take what you can from your dreams, make them as real as anything it'd take the work out of the courage."

To me that sounds like he means that you should believe in your dreams enough to make them real.  If you believe in your dreams whole heartedly than it doesn't seem that hard to make them manifest because you believe that you can make them real, which means that you already have the courage so there's no real work to work up the courage.  LOL!  I hope I explained that right.  But that's what it means to me.

Hope that helped and thanks for the question!
