Lyrics

An original song with a secret instrument!

What's the worst that could happen?

You'll never know unless you try

Don't be put off by your self-doubting thoughts

If you don't take a leap then you might never fly

What's the worst that could happen?

It'll never really be that bad

The monster in your head will say there is something to dread

But just push him away and show him that you can

What's the worst that could happen?

Everything will be okay

You've got this, I know it

Just trust me, you'll own it

You can and will do something great today
