| Time for you to take a breath and look around,
|
| Time for you to shout about the voice you’ve found.
|
| Building from within you is a brand new sound.
|
| Only pick you up so they can put you down.
|
| Summer comes around when the seasons change
|
| Just like people, now it feels so strange.
|
| Just another marriage that they can’t arrange
|
| So don’t be ashamed.
|
| Shareena, you’ve got to know,
|
| Don’t be blaming yourself no more.
|
| Don’t you know that your heart is pure?
|
| And you know he’s worth fighting for.
|
| Shareena don’t you know
|
| That you can’t replay this act
|
| Once it has faded to black.
|
| Time up! |
| Act now,
|
| You have to somehow stand up,
|
| Shout loud because family should be proud
|
| Of you whatever you choose or lose your love forever.
|
| Shareena you are who you are.
|
| Wage the war that went before the last two years,
|
| Can’t just keep on smiling through the dried-up tears,
|
| Face the only part of you that you can’t pierce,
|
| Caught between your culture and a life that’s here.
|
| Looking like you’ve found a place where you belong,
|
| Always with apologies upon your tongue.
|
| If he makes you happy how can it be wrong?
|
| He’s waited this long.
|
| Shareena, you’ve got to know,
|
| Don’t be blaming yourself no more.
|
| Don’t you know that your heart is pure?
|
| And you know he’s worth fighting for.
|
| Shareena don’t you know
|
| That you can’t replay this act
|
| Once it has faded to black.
|
| Time up! |
| Act now,
|
| You have to somehow stand up,
|
| Shout loud because family should be proud
|
| Of you whatever you choose or lose your love forever.
|
| Shareena you are who you are.
|
| Everything you can be,
|
| A star in front of me,
|
| That’s all they need to see.
|
| Time up! |
| Act now,
|
| You have to somehow stand up,
|
| Shout loud because family should be proud
|
| Of you whatever you choose or lose your love forever.
|
| Keep your head together through the stormy weather.
|
| The sun will come through.
|
| Shareena, you’ve got to know,
|
| Don’t be blaming yourself no more.
|
| Don’t you know that your heart is pure?
|
| And you know he’s worth fighting for.
|
| Shareena don’t you know
|
| That you can’t replay this act
|
| Once it all fades into black.
|
| You can never get it back.
|
| Time for you to take a breath and look around,
|
| Time for you to shout about the voice you’ve found.
|
| Building from within you is a brand new sound.
|
| Only pick you up so they can put you down.
|
| Summer comes around when the seasons change
|
| Just like people, now it feels so strange.
|
| Just another marriage that they can’t arrange
|
| Just another daughter has to live estranged.
|
| Finally it’s time for you to make that choice,
|
| Hearing the sincerity that’s in my voice
|
| Telling you to do whatever you decide,
|
| Girl you are so beautiful, I’m by your side.
|
| This was always more than just a lost romance,
|
| Don’t forget that this could be your final chance. |
