DC Talk - Say The Words Lyrics






(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 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?

[chorus]
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

Ya gotta say it, ya gotta say it, say it
Ya gotta say it, ya gotta say it

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 feeling?
There is a world in need with hungry souls to feed
And love can intercede if we're willing, so...

[repeat chorus]

Ya gotta say it, ya gotta say it, say it
Ya gotta say it, ya 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 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"

[repeat chorus]

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)

Choose to lose the pride that may tug at you
Don't be afraid of the words "I love you"

  6. v.... ....

    One of my favorite songs.

  7. L.... V....

    I Love this song, but sometimes we need to say more than "I love you," to people. Isn't it easier to bow our heads and pray and say I love you to people who obviously need more help than that? Offer our time to show our love, offer our help to the blind and the ones who don't have enough to eat. I think the world needs to see people that show that they love them by their actions and not their words. It's okay to say, "I love you," to someone if you are also going to help them if they need help. But to just say I love you and tell people that are hurting, "God's got this." and you never check up on them, never ask them what's wrong when it is so obvious. Why make people beg? Please do something today to show people that you love them rather than saying, "I love you," It is so easy to say but it is much much harder to give of your time to the poor, needy, and hurting, and that is what the world needs the most!!!!

    How do you say I love you to that irritating person? How do you say I love you to the one who is a master hypocrite? Or what about the the one who killed your wife? How do you say I love you to those who want to provoke terrorism and kill hundreds and thousands of people? How do you say I love you to those who frighten you.

    W.... W....

    You don't say I love you too the person that kills your wife. You kill them. Simple as that

  27. r.... j....

    I wake up singing this so song, so I just gotta listen to it...

  28. J.... A....

    You should clarify in the title that this is a remix

    J.... A....

    You should have been able to determine that this version of "Say The Words" would be the version off of the "Intermission: Greatest Hits" album, which contained remixed and remastered versions of their work. Next time look at the thumbnail to help determine what you are looking for, that way you won't lash out at the person that uploaded this video unnecessarily, like that person was trying to mislead you into hearing an awesome version of an already great song. No one hurt you here, move along and take your comment along with you.

    J.... A....

    Sheesh, are you talking to me? It's crazy how we can read into written words. I didn't mean to "lash out" at all. I was in no way insinuating that they intentionally misled, it was just a suggestion so that when people do a search for Say The Words they can more easily find it if they want the original.

    J.... A....

    +rawar777 Hahahaha... dude, I am and was totally kidding!!!! My bad, my humor gets kinda dry sometimes, I meant to put a smiley face at the end of the paragraph. It was a "snoody DC Talk fan" reference from back in the day... it's a long story, but where I'm from, the "real" DC Talk fans were kinda jerks about it, and I heard 2 of them arguing about this song and the original song one time long ago and it made me laugh to remember it.

    J.... A....

    hahaha gotcha. So really I thought you were misreading my words when I was misreading yours, haha. Just say the words man, say I love you. LOL

    J.... A....

    @rawar777 Saaaayyyyyy the wooorrdddss I wanna hear....

  29. F.... P....

    It absolutely baffles me how this song, of ALL the songs I've heard, gets stuck in my head whenever I'm at my most pissed off moments.

    F.... P....

    +Falling Pictures Productions you are not the only one.....

    F.... P....

    maybe whoever you're mad at, you're supposed to say "I love you". Maybe it helps with anger or...?
