I Have Confidence - Maria

Written by：Oscar Hammerstein II/Richard Rodgers

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 tells me all I trust I lead my heart to

All I trust becomes my own

I have confidence in confidence alone oh help

I have confidence in confidence alone

Besides which you see I have confidence in me
