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've always longed for adventure To do the things I've never dared Now here I'm facing adventure Then why am I so scared?

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
The singer is recognizing that their doubts and worries will cause them to give up and not persevere if they don't overcome them.

I must dream of the things I am seeking I am seeking the courage I lack 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
The artist is affirming the need to dream and seek out the courage they lack in order to serve and live up to their potential, and to do so with reliability and accountability.

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 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 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

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

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
The artist is asserting that they trust in their own heart and rely on their confidence and self-assurance in order to succeed and achieve their goals.
