lyrics

LET YOUR GUARD DOWN
© Lecia Louise McPhail-Bell

Intro:
Time. Time. Time. Time.

Verse:
Some will say, lead the way, leading with resistance, leading with resistance
See your way, know you're great, find your own ambitions, cease your inhibitions

Chorus:
You know you gotta let your guard down
How will you let yourself begin
You know its not that hard to make a start, work for you
It's your time to shine

Verse:
Question is, what to give
See it in their faces, seeded expectations
Just for them you've let yourself down
Had you thought just to pass on by
Hiding from your expectations
You know you gotta put a little time into yourself
It's your time to shine

Bridge: Instrumental
Solo:

Chorus:
Chorus:
You know you gotta let your guard down
How will you let yourself begin
You know its not that hard to make a start, work for you
You know you gotta let your guard down
How will you let yourself begin
You know its not that hard to make a start, work for you
It's your time to shine

Outro:
Time. Time. Time. Time.
