Heart pounds to the sound comin after me
Step back  what is that  its a mystery
Is it somethin  probly 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 theres a fighter  a survivor arisin in me
Im 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; Im realizin
The only thing to fear is fear itself
Now I am certain that my beast of burden
Isnt worth the worry
They are only paper tigers followin me
In the wild imagination of the make believe  oh
And theres a fighter  a survivor arisin in me
Im 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 theres a fighter  a survivor arisin in me
Im not afraid of paper tigers
(they are only paper tigers) followin me yeah
(in the wild imagination) oh  theyre only make believe  wow
Theres a fighter  a survivor arisin in me
Im not afraid  and I wont run away from paper tigers
Ooo ooo
