Echoing Angels, “Say What You Believe”

Contemporary Christian pop-rock group Echoing Angels’ Say What You Believe is a decidedly harder-edged single that dissociates the band from its brilliant yet somewhat generic 2009 Top 10 hit, You Alone. The eOne artists – they used to be on INO/Columbia, but I guess they must’ve left or were dropped – will release a self-titled CD in 2011, from which Say What You Believe is the carrier single.

I’m not too worried about the future of the band. John, Josh, Trey, Shannon, and Neil have crafted a clever, memorable single with a great guitar hook and a singalong chorus that should stand above the hullabahoo of current Christian radio. Say What You Believe is a straightforward encouragement song, challenging Christians to live up to what they claim to believe in, and to do much more than just declare lordship. This week, Say What You Believe is one of the top five most added songs at Christian AC; given proper promotion, I see no reason why Echoing Angels’ Say What You Believe can’t finish decently in the Top 20 of the main Christian AC chart.

SAY WHAT YOU BELIEVE Lyrics
Echoing Angels

Some days I just want to scream everything that I believe in
Oh, there’s a love that will quench your soul and show you what life is
But then I turn in fear and doubt that someone will hear me
That they will all just laugh in face and call me crazy

Oh why’d I back down
I’ve got to share my heart
Turn this world around

Chorus
Say, what you believe
Come on and shout it out loud
Say, what you believe
Say, what you believe
Come on and live it out loud
Say, what you believe

Verse 2
Some say that I’m wasting my time with the one love I believe in
I can’t deny that this feeling inside has got me seein’
Eternity comes to those who believe when this world starts fadin’
So go ahead and laugh in my face and call me crazy

Oh I won’t back down
I’m gonna share my heart
Turn this world around

Bridge
Everybody come and rise up together
Take a stand, don’t be afraid of the pressure
And with one voice we’re gonna cry out forever
Every mother father sister brother
Reach out for each other c’mon
