Song 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
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say

Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say

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
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say

Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say

Have no fear for giving 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

Even if your hands are shaking
And your faith is broken
Even as your eyes are closing
Do it with a heart wide open

Wide

Say what you need to say
(repeated till fade out)

It's better to say too much
Than never to say what you need to say
Even if your hands are shaking
And your faith is broken
Even as your eyes are closing
Do it with a heart wide open.....

some of the most inspiring lyrics ive ever had the pleasure of knowing! this song gives me goosebumps every time. it makes me feel powerful and courageous. if you dont like this song, there is something wrong with you. it is beautiful. it always brings tears to my eyes. everynight i hear it, i promise myself that i will live the next day to the fullest. because if i were to die during the week, i would then be content and say that ive lived every day to the best of my ability and have no doubts or grudges.
