Don't you be afraid, stand up and seize the day
Spread out your arms and fly til you're up and away
Make sure to clear your mind, accept what you don't know
So you can see the road where you need to go

I see that same old look upon your face
In this strange world, you feel so out of place
Before you try, you sigh and look so glum
You can't give up before you've even begun

If you're only looking for
Right answers and nothing more
You might overlook what's straight in front of you

Don't you be afraid, stand up and seize the day
Spread out your arms and fly til you're up and away
Make sure to clear your mind, accept what you don't know
So you can see the road where you need to go

Just allow your eyes to open nice and wide
Experience this world, don't stay inside and hide
All that satisfaction which you've been looking for
Shout and make yourself heard and it will be yours

You hear the sound of laughter from nearby
You hang your head, shyly avert your eyes
Deep down, you know your heart's longing to hear
Still, you pretend not to notice out of fear

Why not move a bit closer
Step by step, then you will learn
Embracing this life will make you want to smile

Don't you be afraid, stand up and seize the day
Spread out your arms and fly til you're up and away
Make sure to clear your mind, accept what you don't know
So you can see the road where you need to go

Just allow your eyes to open nice and wide
Experience this world, don't stay inside and hide
All that satisfaction which you've been looking for
Shout and make yourself heard and it will be yours
