Say what you mean
When you say that you mean what you say
When you say what you're thinking and feeling
When you say it to me
The words weighed so heavily
When I heard them last
Now it is air in an air castle
Feathers adrift
Like dandelion seeds in the wind
You know I love your voice
Your seriousness, your tone
Something happens in me
I become a better person
When I hear your voice on the radio
Can you take care of me
If I take care of you
Can your watch my back
If I watch yours
Can you take care of me
If I take care of you
Can you take the breath from out of me
The breath from out of me
Say what you mean
When you say that you
Mean what you say
When you say what you
Are thinking and feeling
When you say it to me
So what would I give to have you beside me
At my side in the fight because now it is war
We duck beneath the missiles
I know that everything has a price
What is your price
What will I pay for your sympathy
A kiss in the fire trenches
Can you take care of me
If I take care of you
Can your watch my back
If I watch yours
Can you take care of me
If I take care of you
Say what you mean
When you say that you
Mean what you say
When you say what you
Are thinking and feeling
When you say it to me
You must think of the words you choose
You must stand up for the things you do
I must think of the words I choose
I must stand up for the things I do
We must stand up for the dreams we sell
We must stand up for the things we do
It isn't about all the things that we say
It's about the things we do
Say what you mean
When you say that you
Mean what you say
When you say what you
Are thinking and feeling
When you say it to me
