Lyrics
Paper Tigers
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It's not so far away
You can almost hear the violins in the breeze
But soon you realize
Oh surrounding you a storm is raging
Look around, don't you fear
Paper tigers are your enemy
I know they seem real
Stretch out your hands and feel
The wind against your fingertips
And know that help is here
Right here
I know that look in your eye
It's almost like you're too afraid to say a word
Speak
A shroud of apprehension
Oh surrounding you a silent symphony of worry
