Face Your Fears

[PAULA]
I used to be afraid of so much in this world
I’d tiptoe through each day like some frightened little girl
Then one day I realized I can’t just run and hide from life
Now if someone pulls a gun on me, I pull out my knife

[REBECCA, spoken]
I don’t follow...

[PAULA, spoken]
Sit on my lap like I’m Santa and listen to me:
(sung)
Face your fears
Stare them down
Don’t be scared
Stand your ground
'Cause nothing is scary as it appears
All you gotta do is face your fears

If a bear runs at you in the woods, don’t run away
Look it deep in the eyes, put your hand on its chest and say
“Bear, I’m not afraid!”
If you’re in a burning building and smoke is everywhere
Keep calm, take a deep breath, and stay right there

Face your fears
Run with scissors
'Cause you can fly
Yes, you can fly
Fly out of a window
Fly off a building
Just believe in yourself
Face your fears

[PAULA]
'Cause the children are the future

Face your fears

Follow your dreams

Stare at the sun

Play in the street

If you’re scared of bees

Get stung!

Reach for the stars

Face your fears!

Face your fears

Join the Marines

Swim right after eating

'Cause you are amazing

Wipe back to front

Drop out of school

[CHILD CHOIR]
Ahh

Face your fears

Follow your dreams

Stare at the sun

A busy street

If you’re scared of bees

Don’t have an EpiPen ready

Literally touch the stars

Stars aren’t that hot

Face your fears

Join the Marines

Don’t wait 30 minutes

So amazing

Don't wipe front to back

School is stupid
[PAULA]
All you gotta do—

[REBECCA, spoken]
Is face my fears?

[PAULA]
Is face your—

[REBECCA, spoken]
Fears, I got it

[PAULA]
Fears, yeah!

[CHILD CHOIR]
Ahh!
