Lyrics
Shaara
When I was young, years ago, tried to imagine how you'd grow
Would you be strong? Would you belong? Would you do right and know it from wrong?
And now the times mov'in on, all of those days have long since gone,
I didn't know, how fast you'd grow, when you would leave my arms to go
Now I see you stand'in there, I'm feeling kind of sad, I'm feel'in scared.
Could you hold your own if I were gone? Would you have the strength to carry on?
Shaara, you've grown up so fast, where's the time, has it passed,
Oh my Shaara, if I could just hold you, if this time could last, till I'm old
Do you know where you'll go if you're low and your faced with despair,
All alone would you find your way home, if your goin nowhere
If your searchin for gold, but your dream have grown old, I'll be there, forever I'll care
(Guitar Solo)
Like a bird whose wings are set to flow, Its easier to fly than letting go
Shaara, you've grown up too fast, what's the rush, make it last
Oh my Shaara, if I could just hold you and relive the past Can I ask
Have you made all your plans? understand you must never lose hold
Then tell me why it is I and not you who has lost all control
All the dangers I hear, bring me fear, as they tear up my sole,
I'm no longer whole, its taken its toll.
Don't ride don't ride too fast my Shaara, and look both ways before you cross
Don't fly don't fly to far my Shaara, cause they'll be roads you're on that leave you lost
Shaara, you've grown up too fast, what's the rush, make it last
Oh my Shaara, if I could just hold you and relive the past Can I ask
Have you made all your plans? understand you must never lose hold
Then tell me why it is I and not you who has lost all control
All the dangers I hear, bring me fear, as they tear up my sole,
I'm no longer whole, its taken its toll.
Shaara, ......
