(Verse) Singer 1 (Paige McNamara):
I was only in Year Seven
Just thirteen years of age
I won't forget that speech night
When they dragged me to the stage
I felt their eyes upon me and the words just slipped away
They handed me the microphone
I said "I don't know what to say"
Chorus: (Lania Morgan and
Group) Sometimes it's hard when you don't know what to
say
Your mind goes dark and the words just slip away
Sometimes when words escape you
And you don't know where to start
Don't try to say it with your head... just answer
And say it with your heart
Singer 2: (Blake Rust) I
was speeding into Lithgow
My eyes were full of tears
My Nanna had just passed away
We'd shared so many years
When that policeman pulled me over
Coming down the Brown's Gap Way
He said. (Luke Young) "Hey...
Where's the funeral?"
And I didn't know what to say
Chorus: (Lania Morgan and
Group) Sometimes it's hard when you don't know what to
say
Your mind goes dark and the words just slip away
Sometimes when words escape you
And you don't know where to start
Don't try to say it with your head... just answer
And say it with your heart
(Interlude) First and last line of Bridge
Singer 3: (Lania Morgan)It
was Sunset up on Hassans Walls
I'd just turned Twenty Nine
He leaned over and kissed me
He placed his hand on mine
And as he started speaking
my heart began to race
He asked me if I'd marry him
And I...I didn't know what to say
(Bridge) Singer 1: (Paige
McNamara) The crowd started applauding. I was honest
and they cared Singer 2: (Blake Rust) The
policeman said. "I'm sorry mate. C'Mon I'll take you there." Singer 3: (Lania Morgan)And
when I look back at that moment
I think that you can guess'
That when I looked at him and answered with my heart
The answer came out "Yes"
Chorus: (Lania Morgan and
Group) Sometimes it's hard when you don't know what to
say
Your mind goes dark and the words just slip away
Sometimes when words escape you
And you don't know where to start
Don't try to say it with your head... just answer
And say it with your heart
