Say the Words



Silence is golden but these are the words

That the world needs to hear

Terms of compassion will cause a reaction

As love draws them near

But still we choose to hide behind the face of pride

Pretending we are blind to the calling

This is my point and case, if hate can be erased

With such a simple phrase, why are we stalling?



(Chorus)

Say the words, say the words, say I love you

Say the words I long to hear

Say the words, say the words, say "I love you"

Say the words I long to hear



Ya gotta say it, ya gotta say it, say it



Some just assume we already know

Of the love that they feel

Some have a heartfelt emotion

But never the words to reveal



I think we all relate, so why are we afraid

To let our hearts convey what we're feeling?

There is a world in need with hungry souls to feed

And love can intercede if we're willing, so...



(Repeat Chorus)



Ya gotta say it, ya gotta say it, say it



The word love, well it was once overused

Back in the 70's the word was abused

But I refuse to let love be diluted

We can't allow physical lust to intrude it

Or pollute it cause there ain't no excuse

For the greatest gift of all to be abused

So choose to lose the pride that may tug at you

Don't be afraid of the words "I love you"



(Repeat Chorus 2x)
