Say the Words (Now)

I got something for you man You got to say, you gotta say it... Silence is golden But these are the words That the world needs to hear (Brothers and sisters) 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? Say the words Say the words Say "I love you" (Say "I love you") Say the words I long to hear (I long to hear them) Say the words Say the words Say "I love you" (Say "I love you") Say the words I long to hear (I long, I long, I long to hear them) (You got to say it, you got to say it, say it) Some just assume we already know Of the love that they feel (Brothers and sisters) Some have a heart felt emotion But never the words to reveal I think we all relate So why are we afraid To let our hearts convey What we are feeling? There is a world in need With hungry souls to feed And love can intercede if we're willing, so... Say the words Say the words Say "I love you" (Say "I love you") Say the words I long to hear (I long to hear them) Say the words Say the words Say "I love you" (Say "I love you") Say the words I long to hear (I long, I long, I long to hear them) (You got to say it, you got to 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 to diluted We can't allow physical lust to intrude it Or pollute it 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" Say the words Say the words Say "I love you" Say the words I long to hear (I long to hear them) Say the words Say the words Say "I love you" (Say "I love you") Say the words I long to hear (I long, I long, I long to hear them) Say the words Say the words Say "I love you" (Say "I love you") Say the words I long to hear (I long to hear them) Say the words Say the words Say "I love you" (Say "I love you") Say the words I long to hear (I long, I long, I long to hear them)
