Tell It Like It Is Lyrics

Tracy Chapman Tell It Like It Is

Say It say it say it Tell it like it is Say it say it say it Tell it
like it is What breaks your heart What keeps you awake at night What
makes you want to breakdown and cry But say you'll never turn your back
Say you'll never harden to the world Say you'll never try to steal the
rhythms in your breast Say you'll never look at the evil among us and
try to forget Say you'll tell it like it is Say it say it say it So
everyone can hear Say it say it say it Tell it like it is What breaks
your heart What keeps you awake at night How your angry and grief Make
you want to cry out And tell it like it is But say you'll never close
your eyes Or pretend that it's a rosy world Say you'll never try to
paint what is roten with a sugarcoat Say you'll talk about the horrors
you've seen and the torment you know And tell it like it is Say it say
it say it So no one can forget Say it say it say it Tell it like it is
What breaks your heart What keeps you awake at night What makes you want
to break the ties that silence and bind And tell it like it is Say
you'll never cover your ears and close your mouth And live in a silent
world Say you'll only run as far or as fast as you need to be secure Say
that then you'll tell the truth When a lie could cross your lips And
tell it like it is Say it say it say it Say it say it say it Say it say
it say it Say it say it say it Say it say it say it Say it say it say it
Say it say it Say it
