Song For Soul: Say (John Mayer)

We don’t always say how we feel. We don’t always say what we like. We don’t always say how we would like to be treated. We don’t always say our thoughts.

John Mayer reminds us to say it all. Even if our hands are shaking and our faith is broken, we must say what we need to say. Declare who you are. Declare what you stand for. Say what you need to say. Say what you feel needs to be said. You want to be respected? Say so! You want a raise? Say so! You want to be heard? Say so! You want to apologize? Say what you need to say! In the end, it’s better to say too much than never to say what you need to say.

Complete Lyrics

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 [8x]

Walking like a one man army
Fighting with the shadows in your head
Living out the same old moment
Knowing you’d be better off instead,
If you could only . . .

Say what you need to say [8x]

Have no fear for giving in
Have no fear for giving over
You’d 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 closing
Do it with a heart wide open… Wide heart…

Say what you need to say (x7)
Say what you need to
Say what you need to
Say what you need to say…
