Sometimes I'm afraid of what would happen to me
If someone came and took me away
And sometimes I'm afraid of stuff that's on TV
Or worried if my mom's okay
And sometimes I'm so scared about the monsters in my closet
I hardly even dare to blink
But one thing I can tell you you should never be afraid of
Is saying what you really think
Oh no, I'm never afraid, I'm never afraid
To say what's on my mind
No, I'm never afraid, I'm never afraid
To say what's on my mind
There's all kinds of brave
And all kinds of courageous
But me, I'm the bravest kind
'Cause I'm never afraid to say what's on my mind
Well, Annie's scared of heights and Dan's afraid of snakes
And I'm scared to pass the bully next door
And sometimes I'm afraid they'll make a stupid mistake
And someone'll start a nuclear war
But once this kid was bragging about a brand new bike
He was planning to go out and steal
I said, "It's dumb to do that!" and I wasn't afraid
'Cause I told him how I really feel
Oh no, I'm never afraid, I'm never afraid
To say what's on my mind
No, I'm never afraid, I'm never afraid
To say what's on my mind
There's all kinds of brave
And all kinds of courageous
But me, I'm the bravest kind
'Cause I'm never afraid to say what's on my mind
I know a macho guy who pumps his muscles every day
Who's terrified of saying something wrong
I know a little boy who says the hardest things to say
Yeah, he's the one who's really big and strong
My mother's got a friend who likes to hug me a lot
Yeah, he's nice to be beyond a doubt
But if somebody hugs me and it bugs me a lot
I say, "Mom, they've gotta cut that out!"
You might be scared the truth is gonna make 'em mad
And you're petrified to have a fight
But come right out and say it and you won't be afraid
If you're saying what you know is right
