Oscar Hammerstein II - I Have Confidence lyrics

[MARIA] What will this day be like? I wonder What will my future be? I wonder 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! 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! 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 I have confidence in sunshine I have confidence in rain I have confidence that spring will come again! Besides, which you see 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 can be all I trust I leave my heart to All I trust becomes my own! I have confidence in confidence alone I have confidence in confidence alone! Besides, which you see I have confidence in me!
