  • Say The Words (Now)

    [You gotta say it, you gotta say it]

    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 drawls 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 "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"
    [Say "I love you"]
    Say the words I long to hear
    [I long, I long, I long to hear them]

    Ya gotta say it, ya gotta say it, 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

    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 2x)

    Mr. Morgan Act I

    My name is [Richard?] Morgan
    And I live next door to
    Where the Gotee's sit
    Well, I layed in the bed
    After I get eye operated on that day
    And I heard the drummer beatin' over next door
    And I asked my wife, I said,
    "Did you hear that noise over next door?"
    She said, "yeah"
    I said, "Well you won't hear it long
    'Cause I'm gone stop it"
    So I got up, put my clothes on
    And I went over there and I beat on the door
    I had this patch over my eye and
    Toby stuck his head out 'round the shade
    And I told him to get hisself out here
    I wanted to see him
    And a man told me I'd have to
    Come over there with a baseball bat
    But I won't need no baseball bat
    To whip Toby if I have to wip him
    So he cut the noise out and
    So I come on back home and went to bed
    And slept the rest of the night
    They quieted down over there now
    And I never have no more trouble out of 'em
    [They] infact they're all good boys now
    So that's about all I know I guess [3x]

    Chance

    People watching
    Every life a mystery
    Sunny faces
    But you know the story's incomplete
    Satisfaction [satisfaction]
    It seems a million miles away
    So I'm moving to another state of mind
    [Another state of mind]
    I'm believing there's no better place
    Or better time

    (chorus)
    And every day we live
    There's a chance to give
    And every time we speak
    There's a chance for peace
    And every day we live
    There's a chance

    [Ahhh] Little sister
    Put aside your fear and breath
    In the secret
    Do you hear the voice of heaven saying
    Come together [Come together]
    Hope is stronger than it seems
    Where you're standing
    There's no running out on love
    [No running out on love]
    Only human
    But you've set your eyes on the things above

    (repeat chorus)

    To give
    And every time we speak
    There's a chance for you
    And a chance for me
    A chance to serve
    And a time of need
    A chance to live
    A chance to tell
    A chance to lose yourself

    (repeat chorus 2x)

    Oh, there's a chance.

    Sugar Coat It

    Movin' at the speed of sound
    There has never been a lull in the motion
    Conversations swirl around
    Strangers questioning their devotion
    Welcome to the world of talk shows
    Where everybody seems to know

    People talk and never listen
    Come to their conclusions
    So we'll feed 'em with the spoon
    That makes the medicine go down

    (chorus)
    Baby you got it
    Baby we wrote it
    Maybe you thought that we sugar coat it
    Aint gonna hide it
    Gotta expose it
    Yeah, we're gonna let our light shine

    Standing on the stage of life
    We are waiting for the final curtain
    You can take a seat and watch tonight
    But you're gonna get more than you came for

    Bam
    And welcome to our jam
    Where folks are getting down
    The Jesus freaks from
    Every part of this here town

    You can try and ask us why
    We came to this solution
    Though words may fly
    You can't deny
    It's in the air tonight

    (repeat chorus 2x)

    Boom
    They thought we'd change our tune
    They thought that we'd go bust
    They thought we'd crumble
    Like my grandma's flakey crust
    Kapow, up in the here and now
    The truth is screaming big
    A light so bright
    Whether day or night
    It can't be hid

    Baby you got it
    Baby we wrote it
    Aint gonna hide it
    Yeah, we're gonna let our love light shine

    (repeat chorus)

    Let your love shine
    Let your love shine
    Let your love shine
    Let your love light shine
    Your love light shine

    Let your love shine
    Let your love shine
    Let your love shine
    Let your love light shine
    Sugar coat it

    Mrs. Morgan Act II

    I had rather tell about
    How many people have come here
    Since I was on the Jesus Freak record
    And people have been here
    From at least 20 states, haven't they?
    [Yeah] At least 20 states
    Wanting my autograph and picture
    I have met a whole lot of nice people
    And I think I've had my 15 minutes of fame
    I have met a whole lot of nice people and
    I think [5x]
    I've had my 15 minutes of fame [2x]
    I think [7x]
