Lyrics

[Chorus]
Say you, say me
Say it for always
That's the way it should be
Say you, say me
Say it together
Naturally
[Verse 1]
I had a dream, I had an awesome dream
People in the park playing games in the dark
And what they played was a masquerade
And from behind the walls of doubt
A voice was crying out
[Chorus]
Say you, say me
Say it for always
That's the way it should be
Say you, say me
Say it together
Naturally
[Verse 2]
As we go down life's lonesome highway
Seems the hardest thing to do is to find a friend or two
That helping hand, someone who understands
And when you feel you lost your way
You've got someone there to say
I'll show you
[Chorus]
Say you, say me
Say it for always
Oh, that's the way it should be
Say you, say me
Say it together
Naturally
[Bridge]
So you think you know the answers
Oh, no
Well, the whole world's got you dancing, that's right, I'm telling you
Time to start believing
Oh, yes
Believe in who you are
You are a shining star
[Chorus]
Say you, say me
Say it for always
Oh, that's the way it should be
Say you, say me
Say it together
Naturally
[Outro]
Say it together
Naturally
