The song Say The Words is performed by dc Talk in the album named Free at Last in the year 1995 .
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 compa*sion 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?
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
Some just a*sume 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
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
(Check this out)
The word 'love,' well it was once overused
Back in the 70's the word was abused
But I refused 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"
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
(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)
(Brothers and sisters)
Choose to lose the pride that may tug at you
Don't be afraid of the words, "I love you"
