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
