Paper Tigers

Mark Heimermann, Wayne Kirkpatrick & Gorge Cocchini

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

CHORUS 1:

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

CHORUS 2:

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

And I won't run away from paper tigers
