Say A Good Word

Iris DeMent

Home's become such an angry place
Friends now wear an enemy's face
The chasm's grown so wide

Words of wisdom from a different time:
An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind
The same is true today

We drown in ill will or we swallow the pill
And go on and say a good word to them now

Say a good word
Say a good word
Say a good word
Say a good word
Say a good word
Say a good word
Say a good word
Say a good word

Nobody gets everything right
Shine your love light
And say a good word to them now

Life is so hard, who isn't scarred
Go on and say a good word to them now

Magnanimity, magnanimity, oh...
Magnanimity, magnanimity, oh...

It's not too late, don't hesitate
Go on and say a good word to them now

Say a good word
Say a good word
Say a good word
Say a good word
Say a good word (Say a good word to them)
Say a good word (Say a good word to them)
Say a good word (Say a good word to them)
Say a good word (Say a good word to them)
Say a good word...
