Paper Tigers

Heart pounds

to the sound

comin' after me

Step back

what is that?

It's a mystery

Is it somethin'

Probably nothing

Still I find a way

to scare my self

'till I remember

this all feels familiar

And I know better.

They are only paper tigers following me

In the wild imagination of the make believe

And there's a fighter a survivor

Arising in me

I'm not afraid of paper tigers

Night brings

creepy things

and I hide away

False fears disappear

In the light of day

The sun is rising

I'm realizing

The only thing to fear is fear itself

Now I'm certain

That my best of burden

Isn't worth the worry

They are only paper tigers following me

In the wild imagination of the make believe

And there's a fighter a survivor

Arising in me

I'm not afraid of paper tigers

...and I won't run away from Paper Tigers...
