Are You Sure
Nana Mouskouri Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Are you sure there's nothing you can do
To help someone worse off than you?
Think before you answer are you sure?
Are you sure?

Are you sure it'll be a waste of time
To stop and let your love light shine?
Think before you answer are you sure?
Are you sure?

Are you sure? Are you sure?
Are you sure? Are you sure?
Think before you answer and be sure
You must be sure

Are you sure that it will be in vain
To show the love for your fellow man?
Think before you answer and be sure
You must be sure

Are you sure that it's not your place
To help someone whose lost the way?
Think before you answer and be sure
Are you sure?

Are you sure? Are you sure?
Are you sure? Are you sure?
Think before you answer and be sure
You must be sure

Are you sure it's not your concern
When you see a neighbor's home is burned?
Think before you answer and be sure
You must be sure

Are you sure? Are you sure?
Are you sure? Are you sure?
Think before you answer and be sure
You must be sure

Are you sure? You must be sure




Are you sure? You must be sure
Are you sure? You must be sure
