Say the Words (Now)

Lyrics

[Intro: TobyMac & Michael Tait] I got somethin' for you, man You gotta say You gotta say it [Verse 1: Michael Tait] 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 [Verse 2: Kevin Max] 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: Michael Tait & Kevin Max] 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) [Post-Chorus: TobyMac] You gotta say it You gotta say it, say it [Verse 3: Michael Tait] 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 [Verse 4: Kevin Max] 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… [Chorus: Michael Tait & Kevin Max] Say the words, say the words Say "I love you" (Say "I love you") Say them over and over 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 them over and over Say the words I long to hear (I long, I long, I long to hear them) [Post-Chorus: TobyMac] You gotta say it You gotta say it, say it [Bridge: TobyMac] The word "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 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" [Chorus: Michael Tait & Kevin Max] 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 them over and over Say the words I long to hear (I long, I long, I long to hear them) [Outro: Michael Tait & Kevin Max] Say the words, say the words Say "I love you" (Say "I love you") Say them over and over 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 them over and over Say the words I long to hear (I long, I long, I long to hear them)
