she's preparing for disaster
her fear has laid her bare
nightmares real and some imagined
in the end scared is scared

chin up little one
what you're afraid of will one day be afraid of us
so get some sleep, and bare your teeth
show fear it's worthless here
it's nothing when we've got the guts

there's a feeling she gets in her heart
when all seems dark

but there's a light on in the hallway
and the door's open a crack
if she gives in to the heartache
she can never take it back

but cheer up little one
so take my hand, we can make a stand
we'll show fear who's boss 'round here
just have a little faith in us

self respect is a knife you can wield
take a stab at the heart of your fear
and just remember that when things get wierd
even though there ain't a heaven above you baby...

keep your chin up little one
what you're afraid of will one day be afraid of us
so get some sleep, bare your teeth
show fear it's worthless here
it's nothing when we've got the guts

just have a little faith in us
