Speak Your Mind

Written & Produced by Eric Campbell

Verse 1
Talk to me
Tell me how you feel
Don’t hold it in
With me you can be real
I’m your Father
You can say it
Even if it seems unkind
With me you can
Freely speak your mind

Verse 2
Let it out
You won’t make me mad
And truthfully, it’s your silence
That makes me sad
You’re my child, my heart, my love
For you endures throughout all time
So with me you can
Freely speak your mind
Yes with me you can
Freely speak your mind

Bridge
Tell me if you’re angry
Or confused
If you don’t understand my plans for you
If you think that I’m being much too cruel or unfair
I’d rather that you scream and shout at me
That’s better than not saying a thing
At all, Oh No

Verse 3
Talk to me
My love won’t go away
No matter what
you do or what you say
I have called you by my name
And gave my light for you to shine
So with me you can
Freely speak your mind
Yes with me you can
Freely speak your mind

Vamp
If its bottling up and you’re bout to explode
And you feel like your cross is too heavy to hold
If you feel like the wicked are winning the war
And you wonder what all of the suffering is for
If it feels like heaven has closed its eyes
You can say what you feel don’t ya hold it inside
If you’re carrying more than you think you can bear
And you’re starting to wonder if I’m even there
Cuz lately it’s looking like I’ve left you alone
And you no longer feel that you know that you know
(You can speak your mind)

verse 1

If I ever made you cry I’m truly sorry
Sometimes tears are something I don’t understand
And it wasn’t till the time
I saw them filling up your eyes.
That I realized I’d hurt my closest friend

I’m not really sure just what you were expecting
But I think it might be more than I can give
All those words you never say
I think I hear them anyway
But its a language I don’t really understand

chorus
They say love overcomes a multitude of sins (flaws, offenses)
So I hope that you can forgive me once again

For the cluelessness of men
for the lack of common sense
And for the simple foolishness of ignorance

verse 2

Didn’t we silently agree to keep our friendship
and never ever speak about this chemistry we feel
And now I’m really not sure
when you decided you wanted more
but now we’ve got this awkwardness between us
that refuses to yield

chorus
(repeat 2nd half)

bridge
And maybe it’s true, these friendships never work
And maybe it’s true, someday someone will be hurt
And if I knew this all back then
Would I still let us begin along this road
I don’t know

But they say (chorus)

Bullsh!t

Verse 1

Baby, I don’t wanna get all in your business
Cuz I know you been feeling this thug shit
Since 1999 or 95 or something

Baby, now don’t you go and get mad at me
But how come you ain’t been happy
In a really long time

I’ll never call you out your name
And I won’t put you on display
And I won’t ignore your mind

Cuz I’m the kind of man that knows what he wants
Won’t let a good thing go to waste
And I know a good thing when I see it
Cuz a good things hard to find

Hook
Baby you can call me if you’re looking for a change
If you’re tired of the bullshit
If you’re sick of all the games

Baby, call me if you want a real man in your life
Ain’t you ready for some satisfaction
We can make it happen alright

Verse 2
Baby, come on tell me what you ‘fraid of
Don’t you know what you made of?
Ain’t you ready for the light

I know, you ain’t never been a queen
You ain’t never seen a man
Treat another woman right

But deep in your heart you always knew
There’s a real love somewhere for you
Never ever seen it but you hoping that it’s true

Okay, now’s the time
Take another look girl, see my shine
Why don’t you let me show you how I do
