Say The Words Lyrics - Free At Last - Dc Talk

[You gotta say it, you gotta say it] 

Solomon once wrote: 

"Better is open rebuke, than hidden love" 

So say the words... 

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 drives 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 

Ya gotta say it, ya gotta say it 

Some just assume we already know 

Of the love that they feel 

[brothers and sisters] 

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 

Ya gotta say it, ya gotta say it 

[check this out] 

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) 

Choose to lose the pride that may tug at you 

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

Won't you say the words 

Say the words 

Say the words "I love you" 

[You've got to say it] 

Say the words 

Say the words 

Say them over and over 

[Yeah, you've got to say it, say it] 

Choose to lose the pride that may tug at you 

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