| Lyrics | ||
| Copyright 2006 (Verse 1) I'm not afraid to fly It's the landing I dread I say a prayer in the air And no one hears what I said I do the best that I can To look my fear in the eye I have to bite the tiger To keep him down inside (Chorus) He's lurking in there He wants to be the boss He'll never play fair His gain is always your loss So bite the tiger (Verse 2) I'm not afraid to swim But the ocean is deep I cross my fingers and hope That all the sharks are asleep I do the best that I can To look my fear in the eye I have to bite the tiger To keep him down inside (Chorus) (Bridge) A tiger inside Is so hard to see (Here he comes, here he comes now) But when I get scared He rises in me (Here he comes, here he comes now) (Verse 3) I'm not afraid to die But I don't like pain So when I say goodbye I don't want to remain I do the best that I can To look my fear in the eye I have to bite the tiger To keep him down inside (Chorus) |
