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
ĄŽtill 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
