about

Sometimes you just have to take a deep breath and jump in

lyrics

It’s the first day of school, I’m the new kid here,
My stomach’s doing flip flops, I’m choking back the tears,
I’m worried they won’t like me, don’t know if I’ll fit in,
What if they don’t like my hair, or the colour of my skin?

I think I see my teacher - what if she is mean?
What will I do at recess? What about in between?
I guess I’ll take a deep breath, hold my head up high,
Stop looking at the ground, start aiming for the sky…

I’ll do it anyway, even though I’m scared,
I’ll do it anyway, though I don’t feel quite prepared,
I’ll do it anyway, I’ve got to be brave,
No one can do it for me, I’m the one who must be strong and do it anyway.

It’s easy to get nervous, with anything that’s new,
Like going to the doctor, learning how to tie your shoe,
Sometimes I want to stay home or cover up my head,
It would be so nice and easy to stay in my comfy bed,
But just because it’s easy doesn’t mean that it is best,
Sometimes you have to try it, you have to take the test,
And sometimes it won’t work out, sometimes you will miss,
But mostly you will find that doing it is worth the risk.

Do it anyway, even though you’re scared,
Do it anyway, though you don’t feel quite prepared,
Do it anyway, you’ve gotta be brave,
No one can do it for you, you’re the one who must be strong and do it anyway.
