I Have Confidence 

 

 What will this day be like? I wonder. 

 What will my future be? I wonder. 

 It could be so exciting to be out in the world, to be free 

 My heart should be wildly rejoicing 

 Oh, what's the matter with me? 

 

 I've always longed for adventure 

 To do the things I've never dared 

 And here I'm facing adventure 

 Then why am I so scared 

 

 A captain with seven children 

 What's so fearsome about that? 

 

 Oh, I must stop these doubts, all these worries 

 If I don't I just know I'll turn back 

 I must dream of the things I am seeking 

 I am seeking the courage I lack 

 

 The courage to serve them with reliance 

 Face my mistakes without defiance 

 Show them I'm worthy 

 And while I show them 

 I'll show me 

 

 So, let them bring on all their problems 

 I'll do better than my best 

 I have confidence they'll put me to the test 

 But I'll make them see I have confidence in me 

 

 Somehow I will impress them 

 I will be firm but kind 

 And all those children (Heaven bless them!) 

 They will look up to me 

 

 And mind me with each step I am more certain 

 Everything will turn out fine 

 I have confidence the world can all be mine 

 They'll have to agree I have confidence in me 

 

 I have confidence in sunshine 

 I have confidence in rain 

 I have confidence that spring will come again 

 Besides which you see I have confidence in me 

 

 Strength doesn't lie in numbers 

 Strength doesn't lie in wealth 

 Strength lies in nights of peaceful slumbers 

 When you wake up -- Wake Up! 

 

 It tells me all I trust I lead my heart to 

 All I trust becomes my own 

 I have confidence in confidence alone 

 (Oh help!) 

 

 I have confidence in confidence alone 

 Besides which you see I have confidence in me!
