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.

[ANNA]

Whenever I feel afraid

I hold my head erect

And whistle a happy tune

So no one will suspect

I'm afraid.

While shivering in my shoes

I strike a careless pose

And whistle a happy tune

And no one ever knows

I'm afraid.

The result of this deception

Is very strange to tell

For when I fool the people

I fear I fool myself as well!

I whistle a happy tune

And ev'ry single time

The happiness in the tune

Convinces me that I'm not afraid.

Make believe you're brave

And the trick will take you far.

You may be as brave

As you make believe you are

You may be as brave

As you make believe you are

[LOUIS]

While shivering in my shoes

I strike a careless pose

And whistle a happy tune

And no one ever knows,

I'm afraid.

[LOUIS AND ANNA]

The result of this deception

Is very strange to tell

For when I fool the people

I fear I fool myself as well!

I whistle a happy tune

And ev'ry single time

The happiness in the tune

Convinces me that I'm not afraid.

Make believe you're brave

And the trick will take you far.

You may be as brave

As you make believe you are....
