Are You Ready
Sonique Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It is time for a love sensation, to feed the minds of the younger generation
What we never had, what we missed out on
Don't be afraid to admit it has gone, slightly wrong
Give them hope to release the tension, for the lack of communication
Time to get it right, it shouldn't take too long
Make them feel, like they belong
Are you ready, to be part of the solution?
Are you ready, step forward into time
Are you read to make your contribution?
Are you read, if you ain't it is a crime, yeah
Shattered dreams are a regular occurrence
Killing a man doesn't even disturb us
Insecurity, spreads across the land
I can't help but wonder, how long can this go on?
Time has come for us to get it straight now
Understand what it is that just can't wait no more no
Time to get real, yeah!
Tell me how you feel
[chorus] Ready or not
Ready or not
Ready or not we're coming . . .
Changing your perception, yeah
Ready or not
We're losing our direction
Ready or not
To see with what we're dealing
Ready or not
To see what we believe in
TAke a look around, I know that I'm not dreaming
Hopefully you'll see, it's yourself you are deceiving




Think of the price that we are forced to pay
For our ignorance, now there is no time for delay
