Alan Menken & Glenn Slater
Bigger Than That
[LANCE]
When you're scared and stricken and losing your cool
When you’re such a chicken you feel like a fool
Don't freeze up, just ease up
Take one deep breath and don't forget
This little rule
When your palms are sweating, when panic attacks
When you’re close to wettin' your favorite slacks
Stop freakin' and shriekin'
Don't look so bleak and, just relax, kid
And if you're weak and when your courage starts to plummet
Step up and overcome it
'Cause you're bigger, you’re better, you’re better than that
You know you're stronger, and harder, and smarter than that
So when you’re haunted, or daunted, stay calm as a cat
What are you afraid of?
You're bigger than that!
If you're still uneasy, still trembling in dread
You're still so queasy you’d rather be dead
Don't sweat it, don't fret it
'Cause if you let it turn your head, kid
You can't forget it so if anything dismays ya
No need to let it faze ya
'Cause you're bigger, you're better, you're better than that
You know you're bolder, uh! You're buffer, ha! You're tougher than that
And since you're braver, don't waver, just hand in its hat
Show it what you're made of
You're bigger than that
And once you know this, there's nothing to fear
Every neurosis will just disappear
Because you're bigger, you're better, you're better than that
You know you're chiller and you're flipper and you're hipper than that
So face your demon, stop screamin', and pummel it flat
What were you afraid of?
You're bigger than that!
