Paper Tiger Lyrics

I remember what my father said
The day he paid the piper
You gotta free your mind
But don't lose your head
It takes a road to be a rider

The more you want it the less you have you know
And the hardest part is the art of letting go

Whatever they say
Don't you know it's just a paper tiger
Don't you know it's just a phantom in your mind
Take a look at all the ties that bind you
From behind

So keep moving on my wayward son
See the method to their madness
It's a broken trail, a blood-stained gun
And no way out of darkness

Hear the calling, keep the demons down
Hate is ruling, but love is all around

Whatever they say
Don't you know it's just a paper tiger
Don't you know it's just a phantom in your mind
Take a look at all the ties that bind you
From behind
Don't you know its just a paper tiger
Fear is nothing but a castle in the sand
And a heart that can break like china in your hand

In your hand
In your hand

Whatever they say
Don't you know it's just a paper tiger
Don't you know it's just a phantom in your mind
Take a look at all the ties that bind you
From behind
Don't you know it's just a paper tiger
Fear is nothing but a castle in the sand
And a heart that can break like china in your hand

Paper tiger
Paper tiger
