Paper Tigers

Heart pounds to the sound comin' after me
Step back
What is that? It's a mystery
Is it something? Probably nothing
Still I find a way to scare myself

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 am certain that my beast of burden
Isn't worth a 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

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

They are only paper tigers
(Following me yeah)
In the wild imagination
(They only make believe, oh)
There's a fighter, a survivor, arising in me
I'm not afraid and I won't run away from paper tigers
