Say It To Me Now, Lyrics by Glen Hansard
Featured in the motion picture Once
And I'm trying hard to work it out
And so much has gone misunderstood
This mystery only leads to doubt
And I'm looking for a sign
In this dark uneasy time
So if you have something to say
Say it to me now
And I'm not trying to pass the buck
I'm just trying to get a better look
And I'm wondering how it feels for you
Now that the shoe is on the other foot
And I didn't understand
When you reached down to take my hand
And if you have something to say
You'd better say it now
Cause this is what you've waited for
A chance to even up the score
And as these shadows fall on me now
I will somehow
Cause I'm clearing up this wreckage Lord
And there's more than you've ever seen before
So if you have something to say
Say it to me now
Thanks for remembering a peaceful man who impacted so many of us.
I can call up the shock and sadness I felt on that day 27 years ago and yet I try to remember all the beauty in words, music and art he bought to the world.
give Peace a chance.

Correction - I meant Mccannta's lyrics are from The Frames' album Fitzcarraldo, not The Cost.

Yeah - Mccannta's version is from The Frames' The Cost album, and ted K's is the version from Once. Both great.

Maybe I have a different version on my disc? Looks like the same soundtrack though.... Here's the lyrics I have:
----------------------------------
I'm scratching at the surface now
And I'm trying hard to work it out
So much has gone misunderstood
This mystery only leads to doubt
And I didn't understand
When you reached out to take my hand
And if you have something to say
You'd better say it now
Cause this is what you've waited for
Your chance to even up the score
And as these shadows fall on me now
I will somehow
Cause this is what you've waited for
A chance to even up the score
And as these shadows fall on me now
I will somehow
Cause I'm picking up a message Lord (?)
And I'm closer than I've ever been before
So if you have something to say
Say it to me now
Say it to me now
Say it to me now
