Petra - Magic Words lyrics

Say the magic words I won't say the magic words to please you 'Cause you might decide to judge me By what I say to you and not what I do Hide behind my words I won't hide behind my words carefully Cause I'd rather let you see me For what I am and not what you hope that I'll be (Chorus) "I want you to be free," Jesus said that to me Why should things that we say Have to get in the way Say the proper words I won't say the proper words to belong But I'll speak and then I'll listen And let Jesus make the tie strong Play the proper words I won't play the proper words like a game Cause we'd better have in common A lot more than words to call the body our name Why can't we deal in spirit Not empty words and phrases That we've learned to recognize But barely understand Designed to rea**ure us That if words are in their places Than our hearts must be there too We really must understand Whoa! That's not the way it should be Say the magic words Say the magic words Don't say the magic words Please don't say the magic words Please don't Please don't say the magic words Say the magic words Say the magic words
