DC Talk Lyrics
"Say the Words"

Solomon once wrote
Better is open rebuke
Than hidden love
So say the words

VERSE 1-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

B VERSE- 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
Say the words
I long to hear
Say the words
Say I love you
Say the words
I long to hear

TURN AROUND- Ya gotta say it
Ya gotta say it, say it
Ya gotta say it
Ya gotta say it, say it

VERSE 2- Some just assume that we already know
Of the love that they feel
Some have a heart-felt emotion
But never the words to reveal

B VERSE- 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

REPEAT CHORUS
REPEAT TURN AROUND

RAP- The word love
Well, it was once over-used
Back in the '70s the word was abused
But I refuse to let love be diluted
We can't allow physical lust to dilute it
Or pollute it because there ain't no excuse
For the greatest gift of all to be abused
So chose 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"

REPEAT CHORUS
