Say It Right
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
In the day, in the night
Say it right, say it all
You either got it, or you don't
You either stand, or you fall
When your will is broken
When it slips from your hand
When there's no time for jokin'
There's a hole in the plan
Oh, you don't mean nothing at all to me (hey, oh, oh, hey)
No, you don't mean nothing at all to me (hey, oh, oh, hey)
But you got what it takes to set me free (hey, oh, oh, hey)
Oh, you could mean everything to me (hey, oh, oh, hey)
I can't say (say) that I'm not (not)
Lost (lost) and at fault (fault)
I can't say (say) that I don't (don't)
Love the light (love) and the dark
I can't say that I don't (don't)
Know that I am alive
And all of what I feel (feel)
I could show (show you) you tonight, you tonight
Oh, you don't mean nothing at all to me (hey, oh, oh, hey)
No, you don't mean nothing at all to me (hey, oh, oh, hey)
But you got what it takes to set me free (hey, oh, oh, hey)
Oh, you could mean everything to me (hey, oh, oh, hey)
From my hands, I could give you
Something that I made
From my mouth, I could sing you
Another brick that I laid
From my body (from my body), I could show you (I could show you)
A place (a place) God knows (that only God knows)
You should know the space is holy (ah, ah, ah, ah)
Do you really wanna go?
(Three, four)
(Hey, hey, hey)
(You don't mean nothin' at all to me)
(Hey, hey)
(Hey, hey, hey)
(You don't mean nothin' at all to me)
(Hey, hey)
