Live Out Loud - Sierra Boggess, Andrew Lippa, Brian Crawley

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

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 wanna 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
