Say The Word - DC Talk

You gotta say

You gotta say it

Solemn once wrote:

«Better is open rebuke

Than hidden love»

So say the words

(Get into)

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 (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 the words I long to hear

Say the words, say the words

Say «I love you»

Say the words I long to hear

You gotta say it

You gotta say it, say it

You gotta say it

You gotta say it (Get into)

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 feelin'?

There is a world in need with hungry souls to feed

And love can intercede if we’re willing, so… (Brothers and sisters)

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, long to hear them)

You gotta say it

You gotta say it, say it

You gotta say it

You gotta say it (Check this out)

The word «love,» (Love) 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 (Check this out)

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»

Say the words, say the words

Say «I love you» (Love you)

Say the words I long to hear (I long to hear them, oh won’t you…)

Say the words, say the words

Say «I love you» (Say «I love you»)

Say the words I long to hear

Choose to lose the pride that may tug at you

Don’t be afraid of the words «I love you» (So won’t you…)

Say the words, say the words

Say the words «I love you» (You've got to say it) (Brothers and sisters)

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»
