Jada Somiah Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Show you my heart cause seeing is believing
It's coming' on won't be long
What are you afraid of
I've been there before
Right or wrong`
Show me what you're made of
I want something more
You better speak now or forever hold your peace
It's not like love's the price of freedom
wide awake or are we dreaming, dreaming, dreaming
Right from the start we both knew what we were dealing
Speak with your heart cause your eyes are too revealing
We're hanging on won't be long
What are you afraid of
I've been there before
Before I'm gone
Show me what you're made of
I want something more
You better speak now or forever hold your peace
It's not like love's the price of freedom
Wide awake or are we dreaming
Will we ever know the reason
You better speak now or forever hold your peace
It's not the time to fall to pieces
Wide awake or are we dreaming, dreaming, dreaming
