What will this day be like
I wonder
What will my future be
I wonder
It could be so exciting
To be out in the world, to be free
My heart should be wildly rejoicing
Oh what's the matter with me
I have always longed for adventure
To do the things I've never dared
Now here I'm facing adventure
Then why am I so scared

/ Eb Ab / Bb - / Eb E / B - / Ab C# / Ab C#6 /
   / Ab C# / A D / G Dmaj7 / / / GEm G /

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

/ AD A / - Ab / G C / G C6 / / FG C / 

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

/ C Csus2-C-Csus2-C / Eb Ebsus2-Eb-Ebsus2-Eb / 
   / Eb - / - F Adim7 A /

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

/ D - A7 - / / D - G Gm / D Ddim7 Em7A7 D /

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

/ G - Bb+ - / G - B7 - / Em - A9 - / D - A7 - /

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

/ D - A7 - / / D - G Gm / D Ddim7 A7 GA7 D - Bb7 - /

I have confidence in sunshine
I have confidence in rain
I have confidence that spring will come again 
Besides which, you see, I have confidence in me

/ Eb - Fm Bb7 / Eb - Bb7 - / Eb - Ab Am7 / Eb Ebdim7 Fm7Bb7 Eb /

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's healthy

/ Ab - G+ - / Ab - C7 - / Fm - Bb7 - / Eb - Bb - /

All I trust I leave my heart to
All I trust 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

/ F - C7 - / / F - Bb Ddim7 / F Ebdim7 Bb Bm7 - /
   / F Ddim7 C7 - - - F - Gm - - - F - /
