Music: 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 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 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
Nobody wants me here
But I won't 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 that 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
