Song by Maria<br /><br>

What will this day be like? I wonder.<br>

What will my future be? I wonder.<br>

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

My heart should be wildly rejoicing<br>

Oh, what's the matter with me?<br>

<br>

I've always longed for adventure<br>

To do the things I've never dared<br>

And here I'm facing adventure<br>

Then why am I so scared<br>

<br>

A captain with seven children<br>

What's so fearsome about that?<br>

<br>

Oh, I must stop these doubts, all these worries<br>

If I don't I just know I'll turn back<br>

I must dream of the things I am seeking<br>

I am seeking the courage I lack<br>

<br>

The courage to serve them with reliance<br>

Face my mistakes without defiance<br>

Show them I'm worthy<br>

And while I show them <br>

I'll show me<br>

<br>

So, let them bring on all their problems<br>

I'll do better than my best<br>

I have confidence they'll put me to the test<br>

But I'll make them see I have confidence in me<br>

<br>

Somehow I will impress them<br>

I will be firm but kind<br>

And all those children (Heaven bless them!)<br>

They will look up to me<br>

<br>

And mind me with each step I am more certain<br>

Everything will turn out fine<br>

I have confidence the world can all be mine<br>

They'll have to agree I have confidence in me<br>

<br>

I have confidence in sunshine<br>

I have confidence in rain<br>

I have confidence that spring will come again<br>

Besides which you see I have confidence in me<br>

<br>

Strength doesn't lie in numbers<br>

Strength doesn't lie in wealth<br>

Strength lies in nights of peaceful slumbers<br>

When you wake up -- Wake Up!<br>

<br>

It tells me all I trust I lead my heart to<br>

All I trust becomes my own<br>

I have confidence in confidence alone<br>

(Oh help!)<br>

<br>

I have confidence in confidence alone<br>

Besides which you see I have confidence in me!<br>

<br>
