* “If you ask me what I came into this life to do, I will tell you: I came to live out loud.” --Emile Zola
I’ve got some childhood wounds, like you I’ve got the smoothest scars to prove That I can slip and fall and I can lose it all And get back on my wheels and ride again
My darkest thoughts can cloud a sunny day I’ve got to push myself out of my own way Cause I can be my own worst enemy
But when I lose track of my purpose or my plan Gotta give myself some tough love and remind me who I am I’ve got a life to live and I’ve got a lot to give If you ask me what I came into this life to do I will tell you
I came to live out loud…
No matter who you are, you ought to be proud To live your life out loud Even if you’re not in with the inside crowd Go ahead and live your life out loud
If anyone ever told you as a child To color inside the lines I hope you thought they got to be kidding I hope you didn’t pay ‘em any mind
If anyone ever told you, You should hide who you really are and feel shamed I hope you knew that was cruel and clueless And that their ignorance was to blame
But when I lose track of my purpose or my plan Gotta give myself some tough love and remind me who I am I’ve got a life to live and I’ve got a lot to give If you ask me what I came into this life to do I will tell you
I came to live out loud…
No matter who you are, you ought to be proud To live your life out loud Even if you’re not in with the inside crowd Go ahead and live your life out loud
Live it, out loud… I came to live out loud… Live it!
