From the recording Like A Stone
What you say speaks to the way people treat one another, how they talk to each other and how their words can either be loving, encouraging or sometimes hateful.
Lyrics
What you say can save or break a heart...what can you say, what do you say
What you say can mend or rip apart
What you say has power it can hurt or it can heal
What you say can ratify, but never be repealed
What you say, what you say
What did you say, what will you say...what you say will pacify or mar
What you say can burn a bridge or throw you into ire
What you say can be the truth or make you out a liar
What you say can animate or maybe pulverize
What you say can disagree or open up your eyes
What you say, what you say, what you say
Angels singing from on high, serpents down below, 40 days & 40 nights were not that long ago
With the hate and anger that is brewing in your yard, what you say is tearing us apart
What you say
What you say is what you mean and it's what people hear
What you say is vigilant and pulling at an ear
What you say can build them up or make them disappear
What you say is elequent and in the atmosphere
What you say can detriment or reinvigorate
What you say can fortify or help to demonstrate
What you say can bring to tears or ravish in delight
What you say can jubilate and make it seem alright
