Scott Krippayne - Tell It Like it Is lyrics

If you wanna build a bridge You gotta get down on the water You gotta do some hard work Where it's dangerous and steep So the question is this: Is it worth the aggravation For some reconciliation Where the chasm cuts so deep? CHORUS: There's no easy way To help a stubborn world to change And there's no free ride On the road to sacrifice There's no shortcut to take To get us to a better place That's just the way it is If you wanna build a bridge If you wanna tell the truth You gotta find someone to listen And expect some opposition 'Cause being honest is a risk So I guess you'll have to choose Is the trouble you'll uncover Worth the freedom you discover When you tell it like it is? REPEAT CHORUS You need some love to get you through If you wanna tell the truth One night in the garden Counting up the cost Could there be another way To save the world Without the Cross? If you wanna shine a light You gotta take it to the darkness Where the world can be so heartless And you may have to go alone So you really must decide Is the difference that you're making Worth the heavitsol it's takin Just to bring a little hope? REPEAT CHORUS You got to pay the price If you wanna shine a light You need some love to get you through If you wanna tell the truth That's just the way it is If you wanna build a bridge Build a bridge You gotta tell it You gotta tell it Tell it like it is You gotta tell it You gotta tell it Tell it like it is You gotta tell it You gotta tell it You gotta tell it Tell it like it is You gotta tell it Tell it like it is
