The Word
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.
Say the word and you'll be free
Say the word and be like me
Say the word I'm thinking of
Have you heard the word is love
It's so fine, it's sunshine
It's the word love
In the beginning I misunderstood
But now I've got it the word is good
Spread the word and you'll be free
Spread the word and be like me
Spread the word I'm thinking of
Have you heard the word is love
It's so fine, it's sunshine
It's the word love
Everywhere I go I hear it said
In the good and the bad books that I have read
Say the word and you'll be free
Say the word and be like me
Say the word I'm thinking of
Have you heard the word is love
It's so fine, it's sunshine
It's the word love
Now that I know what I feel must be right
I mean to show ev'rybody the light
Give the word a chance to say
That the word is just the way
It's the word I'm thinking of
And the only word is love
It's so fine it's sunshine
It's the word love
Say the word love
Say the word love
Say the word love
Say the word love
