Lyrics

This song really inspires me. There are so many times we don't say what we need to. Sometimes we don't tell people we love that we love them. Other times we see something that isn't right but we're too timid to speak up.

Say by John Mayer

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]

To Have a Friend

It's hard when friendships seem only one sided. You invite the other person to do things but they rarely if ever invite you to do something. You are the one to do all the calling and emails. When all someone does is politely replies to your efforts at a friendship it's hard to not get discouraged and give up.

I'm reminded of a Holly Hobbie place mat that I used to have. It said: To have a friend you have to be one. Looking at that mat over and over again really ingrained that thought in my head. So when I've felt like I don't have many friends from time to time I've asked myself: Am I being a good friend?
