To Hear: Say, John Mayer

I’m a very musically inclined kinda girl.  :)  Sometimes, I just have to share the music of my heart with you.  I hope you don’t mind.

Every once in a while, I’ll find a song that speaks to me, or says what I want to say.  I’ll share it here.

In November, when previews for the movie The Bucket List were airing widely, I heard this gentle song that was so powerful it was even shared at a business workshop I attended in February.  

Say

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 [x8]

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 [x8]

Have no fear for giving in
Have no fear for giving over
You’d better know that in the end
Its better to say too much
Then never say what you need to say again

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

Say what you need to say [x24]
