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 its 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
