Silence is golden but these are the words That the world needs to hear 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?
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
Some just assume we already know Of the love that they feel 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
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"
