Cântăre Paper tigers

"This is a song about your fears and how sometimes you let your fears overtake you. When, it reality, those fears that you keep letting surround you just turn out to be these little paper tigers that are really nothing." -- Jaci Velasquez



Heart pounds to the sound comin' after me.

Step back. What is that? It's a mystery.

Is it somethin'? Pro'bly nothin'.

Still I find a way to scare myself

'Til I remember this all feels familiar,

And I know better.



They are only paper tigers followin' me

In the wild imagination of the make believe, oh.

And there's a fighter, a survivor arisin' 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. (light of day)

The sun is risin'; I'm realizin'

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 followin' me

In the wild imagination of the make believe, oh.

And there's a fighter, a survivor arisin' in me.

I'm not afraid of paper tigers. Oh (paper paper tigers) oh oh (oh oh)



They are only paper tigers followin' me

In the wild imagination of the make believe.

And there's a fighter, a survivor arisin' in me.

I'm not afraid of paper tigers.



(They are only paper tigers) followin' me yeah

(In the wild imagination) Oh, they're only make believe, wow

There's a fighter, a survivor arisin' in me.

I'm not afraid, and I won't run away from paper tigers.

Ooo ooo
