If a bear runs at you in the woods, don’t run away. Look it deep in the eyes, put your hand on its chest, and say “Bear, I’m not afraid!”
— Paula, "I Hope Josh Comes to My Party!"
Face Your Fears was a song sung by Paula Proctor who was trying to get Rebecca to throw a party in order to get some quality time with Josh away from Valencia. She had learned about Rebecca's traumatic past concerning parties but eventually managed to convince her to face her fears. The song's first appearance was in the Season One episode 'I Hope Josh Comes to My Party!".
The song with lyrics[]
Lyrics:
Sssh…
I used to be afraid
Of so much in this world.
I’d tiptoe through each day, like some
Frightened little girl.
Then one day I realized I can’t just
Run and hide from life.
Now if someone pulls a gun on me
I pull out my knife!
(I don’t follow.)
Sit on my lap like I’m Santa and listen to me.
Face your fears.
Stare them down.
Don’t be scared.
Stand your ground.
‘Cause nothing is as scary
As it appears.
All you gotta do
Is face your fears.
(Okay, I think I’m starting to get it--)
If a bear runs at you in the woods,
Don’t run away.
(Yeah, I’m back here, sing to me.)
Look it deep in the eyes,
Put your hand on its chest, and say
“Bear, I’m not afraid!”
(Well that’s just dangerous.)
If you’re in a burning building,
And smoke is everywhere,
Keep calm, take a deep breath,
And stay right there!
(That’s not how smoke or fire works.)
Ssh…
Face your fears!
Run with scissors!
(Whoa.)
‘Cause you can fly,
Yes, you can fly.
Fly out of a window.
(Who are you singing to?)
Fly off a building!
Just believe in yourself,
Face your fears!
(Okay, I have so many problems with--)
‘Cause the children are the future!
Aaahhh!
Face your fears!
(Face your fears!)
(Oh my God.)
Follow your dreams!
(Follow your dreams!)
Stare at the sun!
(Stare at the sun!)
Play in the street!
(A busy street!)
If you’re scared of bees
(If you’re scared of bees)
Get stung!
(Don’t have an EpiPen ready!)
Reach for the stars!
(Literally touch a star)
Face your fears!
(Stars aren’t that hot!)
Face your fears!
(Face your fears!)
Join the Marines!
( Join the Marines!)
Swim right after eating!
(Don’t wait 30 minutes!)
‘Cause you are amazing!
(So amazing!)
Wipe back to front!
(Don’t wipe front to back!)
Drop out of school!
(School is stupid)
All you gotta dooooo…
(Is face my fears?)
Is face your
(Fears, I got it)
Feeeeeeeeeeears!
(Aaaaaaah)
