Terri Allard and Jeff Romano with Mr. Bowmaster's 2nd grade, Jackson-Via Elementary

Don’t be afraid to hop that train

Don’t be afraid to ask my name

Don’t be afraid to be afraid

Just take a chance

Don’t be afraid to jump really high

Don’t be afraid of the tears you might cry

Don’t be afraid, pull a star from the sky

Go on, take a chance

Take off your training wheels
Reach down inside
Try, try, try
One wheel for courage
One wheel for pride
Ride, ride, and ride
Ride, ride, and ride

Don’t be afraid to try something new

Peas on potatoes or chocolate fondue

Who knows, you might like it much more than you knew

If you take a chance

Don’t be afraid of things you can’t see

The bottom of the pool or the top of a tree

Don’t be afraid to disagree

You gotta take a chance

Take off your training wheels

Reach down inside

Try, try, try

One wheel for courage

One wheel for pride

Ride, ride, and ride

Ride, ride, and ride

Take off your training wheels

Reach down inside

Try, try, try

One wheel for courage

One wheel for pride

Ride, ride, and ride

Ride, ride, and ride
