say what you need to say . . .

take all of your wasted honor.
every little past frustration.
take all of your so called problems,
better put 'em in quotations.

say what you need to say . . .

walkin' like a one man army,
fightin' with the shadows in your head.
livin' up the same old moment
knowin' you'd be better off instead

if you could only. . . say what you need to say . . .

have no fear for givin' in.
have no fear for giving over.
you better know that in the end
it's better to say too much, than never to say what you need to say again.

even if your hands are shaking,
and your faith is broken.
even as the eyes are closin',
do it with a heart wide open.

say what you need to say . . .
