Original Cast of Freaky Friday: The Musical
No More Fear
[KATHERINE]
What is this feeling that I’m feeling?
Like I’ve shot right through the ceiling?
Is it only the caffeine and the sugar
And the pizza
Dear me
I had three slices of that pizza
Are carbs the feeling that I’m feeling?
Like I’m losing it, but dealing
It’s alarming but appealing
And somehow healing
How long has it been since this old heart
Has skipped a beat?
How long have I kept an even keel?
How hard have I worked to keep our life so calm and neat?
And how good does this fricking chaos feel?
Though I don’t have the first idea what else may be in store
I know I won’t be frightened anymore
No more fear
No more fright
I go bold or I go home
It starts tonight
Oh god
Have I taught my daughter to be cautious at all cost?
Have I made her somehow be afraid?
Have I held too tightly after all we both have lost
And how do I clean up this mess I’ve made?
Cause clearly I can’t promise things will all turn out okay
But here’s the most important thing I’ll say
No more, no more dread
No more dwelling on the danger, we’ll dare to live instead
No more sadness, not one tear
We’ll be tough, and tough together
No more fear
No more shyness or embarrassment
No diffidence, no doubt
That self-consciousness and anxiousness, just throw that stuff right out!
‘Cause I thought I taught you manners, but I may have made you meek
And a girl can be a good girl without ever being weak
If you have to fight, then fight
And I’ll be the first to cheer
No more waiting
No more hiding
Are we clear? No more fear
No more fear
