Looking back on 2020, besides the obvious collective (and personal) traumas we have all suffered together, too many of us have also developed a way of speaking to one another that is hateful, aggressive, and intentionally cruel (especially on the internet). ALL emotions are important, but our words also matter. The ripple effect of our words and actions is real, and right now, hate is still reverberating much louder than love. I hope "Say It With Love" reminds us to speak from a place of love instead of hate, anger, and fear.
lyrics
It's been a long year
Short fuses soldier on
Together, in hate and fear
We laugh at love
We prove it wrong
When you speak
What do your words really mean?
Do they bring you peace?
Or do they cut like the same knife
That once cut you so deep?
Say it with love
Say it with love
Don't give up on love
Say it with love
The world's coming undone
And we all need a little bit of love
We're on a long road
That winds up the mountainside
We're halfway to everywhere and nowhere all at once, oh
The point of love ain't the finish line
When your soul gets tired
And you wanna burn down what you see
Darling, don't light that fire
Hate is a moth to the flame
Drawn to the same pain you bleed
Say it with love
Say it with love
Don't give up on love
Say it with love
The world's coming undone
And we all need a little bit of love
Say it with love, love , love
Don't give up on love, love, love
C'mon say it with love, love, love
We all need a little bit of love
Say it with love
Say it with love
Don't give up on love
Just a little bit of love
Say it with love, love , love
Don't give up on love, love, love
C'mon say it with love, love, love
We all need a little bit of love
