Say What

Say what you know and
know what you mean
Be free with your thoughts and
share all your dreams
Be strong in your voice and
be kind in your words
Be sweet with your sweet thing
and sing like the birds
Say what you’re thinking
and tell what you feel
Always let truth speak
Her words can heal

A song with no rhythm
A bland melody
A waste of a lyric
with no voice to sing

The thought only counts if
you give it a goddamn try
Afraid she’ll scorn you
but you know that’s a goddamn lie

Be warm with your greetings
Give hopeful goodbyes
Laugh with your belly and
even more with your eyes
Be quick with a compliment
and slow with critique
Be careful of bitterness
when your tongue’s in your cheek

Cause she can feel it
when you don’t mean what you say
Oh she’ll feel it
in the way you say her name

Say what you know and
know what you mean
Be free with your thoughts and
share all your dreams
Be strong in your voice and
Be kind in your words
Be sweet with your sweetheart
and sing like the birds
