Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It hurts me to hear, to see you got no faith in yourself
It bothers me now to watch you, you got no faith in your own self
You listen more to your friends than to your own heart inside
Well, you listen to them, oh, but you hide
You don't got nothing to be afraid of
You're not as bad as you think
And you're always puttin' yourself down (Put yourself down)
But I'm just gonna tell you that I like you
[Verse 2]
Darling, you always put yourself down, but I like you
That's all I came to say
Then there's no need to think that other people
Can do things better than you can do 'em
'Cause you got the same power in you
I got faith in you, sometimes you don't have it in yourself
But I got faith in you
[Verse 3]
And our time is right now
Now we can do anything we really want to
Our time is now, here in the morning of our lives
[Verse 4]
And it ain't just me who thinks so, dear
I asked my friends
Now, Leroy and Asa and D. Sharpe (Yeah)
Tell her not to be afraid (Don't be afraid)
Tell her it's okay (It's okay, it's okay)
Tell her it's alright (It's alright, it's alright)
[Verse 5]
And our time is now
We can do anything we really believe in
Our time is now, here in the morning of our lives
[Verse 6]
I wanna say a little more
Dear, I asked Leroy and Asa and D. Sharpe
And they said (Yeah) (Yeah) (Yeah)
Don't you love her too? (Yes we do)
Then tell her she's okay (You're okay, you're okay)
That's right Deon, you're alright
Tell her it's alright (You're alright, you're alright)
That's right
[Verse 7]
You're okay, dear
There's nothing to feel inferior about
You can do it
And our time is now
We can do anything you really believe in
I know it
Our time is now, here in the morning of our lives
[Verse 8]
Gimme one more, gimme one more
[Verse 9]
Our time is right now, you can do anything
You set your heart on
Our time is now, here in the morning of our lives
[Verse 10]
We're young now
Right now's when we can enjoy it
Now's the time to have faith in what we can do
No need to fear, 'cause now's the time to have faith in what we can do
[Verse 11]
Goodnight
