Heart pounds to the sound comin' after me
Step back
What is that'
It's a mystery
Is it somethin'
Probably nothin'
Still I find a way to scare myself
'Til I remember

This all feels familar
And I know better
They are only paper tigers following me
In the wild imagination of 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 am certain
That my beast of burden
Isn't worth the worry

They are only paper tigers following me
In the wild imagination of make believe
And there's a fighter, a survivor arising in me
I'm not afraid
And I won't run away from paper tigers
