Story behind the song
TaoBrothers, Jeremiah and BrotherDouglas, were in discussion about the direction of music and the vivid, lewd images and inane lyrics that are so prevelant in today's media. Both agreed that they had had enough and the resulting lyric and tune is there 'answer' to that nagging question of 'what can we possibly do about it?' We need to SAY MORE.., demand MORE of ourselves and from our gifts. The solutions lie within each of US.
Lyrics
SAY MORE
(D. Powell, J. Verdecias)
BD: Finally had enough.
Tired of hearing that same old stuff...
We need to Say More, Do More, Feel More, Give More, Love More..., Say More !!!
Say More.
Don't waste our time...,
repeating the same old rhymes.
That should have been retired the first time...
Just the blind leading the blind.
JEREMIAH: As I crossed through that tunnel of broken memories, losing track of where I needed to be. Look in the rear view and instead of fading, the pain just gained on me.
BD: Give us something, something we can feel.
Something true, something real.
JEREMIAH: Getting called but I closed my ears, hidden in fears built into armor by the years. Caught between the darkness ...and the light, so near.
BD: 'Cause this world needs more Light,
It's been too long in the night.
JEREMIAH: But so afraid of letting go... and the harder I gripped the more life slipped through my hands like sand... Falling forward into Faith, wasn't part of the plan.
BD: So now you ask, "What are we to do now...
J: We always seem to seek our worst defeats...
BD: ..after being in this dark for so very long?"
J: Speak out our worst fears...
BD: Here's our advice,
J: Breathe Life into JOY!!!
BD: Just Listen to the words in this song,
JEREMIAH: The only exchange.., your pain, a worthy price, the sacrifice...
BD: ...and LIVE!!!
J: Of the life you lived in vain.
The Tao of Jesus, the Nirvana of Mohammed, Buddah Hadef.., the Gospel according to Lao Tzu. Common sense is the sense of our blood. Blood remembers the things our minds can't capture. Become the Stream of Universe... ever true and unswerving... Become as a little child once more, Blessed are those that are pure in heart, for they will find God. Suprise! The wise does not know many things..., and one who knows many things are not wise. I thank you Father, Lord of Heaven and Earth..., for You have hidden these things from the learned.., and revealed them to infants..., EGO will destroy you..., We all are all part of a body, a drop of water in a sea of consciousness..., the invisible strands of our minds are all linked...
GOD is The Receiver!!
BD: Don't waste your time... Say More!!
