Say The Words (Live 1994)

[Intro: TobyMac, Michael Tait, Kevin Max & Crowd]
…DC Talk! DC Talk! DC Talk!
DC Talk! DC Talk! DC Talk! DC Talk!
DC Talk! DC Talk! DC Talk! DC Talk!
Our Father Who art in Heaven (Heaven)
Hallowed be Thy Name
Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done
On Earth as it is in Heaven (As it is in Heaven)
Ooh hey yeah (Oh)
Hoo whoa-oa-oa-oa
You gotta say it
Ooh whoa
Ooh oh (Get into)

[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 drives them near

[Verse 2: Kevin Max & Michael Tait]
But still we choose to hide behind the face of pride
Pretending we are blind to the calling (Yeah)
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" (You say "I love you")
Say the words I long to hear (I long, yeah, I long)

[Post-Chorus: TobyMac]
You gotta say it
Yeah, you gotta say it, say it
You gotta say it
Yeah, you gotta…

[Bridge: TobyMac]
The word "love," (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]
Ooh, say the words, say the words
Say "I love you" (You say "I love you")
Say the words I long to hear (I long to hear them, oh, won't you…)
Say the words, say the words (The words)
Say "I love you" (You say "I love you," oh oh whoa)
Say the words I long to hear (Yeah, I long, oh, won't you…)

[Outro: Michael Tait, Michael Tait & Kevin Max, TobyMac]
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 the words "I love you"
You gotta say it, say it (Brothers and sisters)
Say the words, say the words
Say them over and over
Yeah, you gotta say it
