| I Have Confidence What will this day be like? I wonder. What will my future be? I wonder. It could be so exiting to be out in the world, to be free. Mt 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 have confidence that spring will come again Beside 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 trusts I lead my heart to All I trusts 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! |

| My Favorite Things Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens Brown paper packages tied up with strings These are a few of my favorite things Cream colored ponies and crisps apple streudels Doorbells and sleighbells and schnitzel with noodle Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings These are a few of my favorite things Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes Snowflakes that stay on my nose and my lashes Silver white winters that melt into springs These are a few of my favorite things When the dog bites When the bee stings When I'm feeling sad I simply remember my favorite things And then I don't feel so bad (repeat all verses) |
