Quotes / "Gaining Confidence" Song

And now the choice is yours
Life waits beyond the doors
So step on through, the time has come
And only you can set yourself free!

No one else can tell you what to do
Or who to be!
No one gets to say if you will stay or go,
So use the gifts you're given
Make the world your own
Look inside your heart and find the key...
And set yourself free!

— Rapunzel, Tangled: The Series, "Set Yourself Free"

I just made something unexpected
Something sharp, something new
(Uh, Isa, this is the part where we...)
It's not symmetrical or perfect
But it's beautiful and it's mine
What else can I do?

(Bring it in, bring it in
Good talk, bring it in, bring it in) What else can I do?
(Let's walk, bring it in, bring it in
Free hugs, bring it in, bring it in)
I grow rows and rows of roses,
Flor de mayo, by the mile.
I make perfect, practiced poses,
So much hides behind my smile.

What could I do if I just grew what I was feelin' in the moment?
(Do you know where you're going? Whoa)
What could I do if I just knew it didn't need to be perfect?
It just needed to be? And they'd let me be?

A hurricane of jacarandas.
Strangling figs (big!), hanging vines (this is fine!)
Palma de cera fills the air as I climb
And I push through,
What else can I do?

— Isabela(and Mirabel), Encanto, "What Else Can I Do?"

I'm not a loser
I don't secretly hate myself
I'm not singing this to no-one
It's not the case that no one cares

I'm not a failure
I don't not have talent
When others see me, they can't see
The nobody that isn't there

— Squidward, The Spongebob Musical, "I'm Not A Loser"

I hate to say, but I'm nervous
How do I prove I deserve this?
I'm trying to be a perfect zombie
And everybody's counting on me

I'm Exceptional Zed
To all my family and friends
So I just gotta forget the doubts
And get up out of my head
'Cause I'm Exceptional Zed
I'm out here doing my best
Today I gotta be good to go
So I'll say it over again
I'm Exceptional Zed

— Zed Necrodopolis, Zombies 3, "Exceptional Zed"

Oh, I can lead the way
Make everything okay
I'm the one that has to save the day
And there's nothing more to say
'Cept up, up and away
Cause I believe that I will be the one to save the day!

— Sofia, Sofia the First, "Do I Dare"

Maybe my journey is far from done,
They need a leader, and I'm the one
So now it's time for them all to see
The lion I was born to be!
It is time to take the lead on my own!
It is time for something bigger than I've ever known!
No need to wonder, the choice is done,
Now I believe I truly am the one!
So is it time?
Is it time?
Yes...
It is time.

— Kion, The Lion Guard, "Kion's Lament"
