lyrics

Home’s become such an angry place
Friends now wear an enemy’s face
The chasm’s grown so wide
Words of wisdom from a different time:
An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind
The same is true today
We drown in ill will or we swallow the pill
And go on and say a good word to them now

Say a good word, say a good word,
Say a good word, say a good word
Say a good word, say a good word,
Say a good word, say a good word

Nobody gets everything right
Shine your love light
And say a good word to them now

Life is so hard, who isn’t scarred
Go on and say a good word to them now

Magnanimity, magnanimity, oooo…
Magnanimity, magnanimity, oooo…

It’s not too late, don’t hesitate
Go on and say a good word to them now

Say a good word, Say a good word………
Say a good word (say a good word to them)…….
