* “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!
