Live out Loud

I don't want to go along with the crowd

Don't want to live life under a cloud

Give me some air and space

And the sun on my face

I want to live out loud

Don't want to be alone in the crowd

Don't want to seem peculiar and proud

I need to be as free as I know how to be

I want to live out loud

Every day sleep, walk, lock, step

No one dares to stray

Though they may straightlaced, shamefaced

Long to break away

They're as lonely as can be

Is that what they want from me?

I don't want to go along with the crowd

Don't want to live life under a cloud

Give me some air and space

And sun on my face

I want to live out loud

Don't want to be alone in the crowd

Don't want to seem peculiar and proud

Nobody wants me here

But I won't be disappear

I want to live out loud

I want to run down an open shoreline

I want to join in a moonlit dance

I want to swing from the branches of a tree

I want to bathe in a hidden inlet

And let the breeze come and dry my hair

I want the life they took away from me

If they makes me headstrong, fine!

That's a fault I'm glad is mine

I don't want to go along with the crowd

Don't want my spirit broken and bowed

Why do I have to hide what I'm feeling inside

I want to live out loud

Don't want to be alone in the crowd

I only want what I'm not allowed

Give me the wings of a bird

I'll be seen and be heard

I want to sing when my heart is full

I want to sing and I want to fly

I want to soar the sky without a cloud

I want to live out loud...
