"Say Oh Say" lyrics

What's the first song about?
I don't understand
There's so much love inside
A woman and a man

Here it comes, the run-around
Temporary fame
Take a cup and drink it down
Hope it's worth the wait

Shout it out, shout about it
Give it all away
Shout it out and let it out
Say, oh say, oh say

Why you wanna sell it down?
It's not a magazine
Distill it into something pure
In something that you mean

Fear is never innocent
Always leads to pain
Hoping for an open door
Maybe make a change

Shout it out, shout about it
Give it all away
Shout it out and let it out
Say, oh say, oh say

Every time you walk away my heart unravels
Every time you walk away my heart unravels

Shout it out, shout about it
Give it all away
Shout it out and let it out
Say, oh say, oh say

Here it comes, the run-around
Show a little faith
How I long to hear the sound
Of silence as it breaks

Shout it out, shout about it
Give it all away
Shout it out and let it out
Say, oh say, oh say

Shout it out, shout about it
Give it all away
Shout it out and let it out
Say, oh say, oh say
