Everyday, sleepwalk, lockstep, no one days to stray Though they may, straightlaced, shame faced, long to break away They're as lonely as can be Is that one 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 dissappear, 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 wantto 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 through the sky without a cloud I want to live out loud!
