From the recording Say It Louder
Lyrics
Used to keep my voice down low
Tried to blend in, hide the glow
But quiet never felt like mine
I was born to shine the light
Tried to hide but broke the chain
Gonna dance when they call my name
Every heartbeat, every shout
I’m not holdin’ back now
Say it louder, say it proud
You’re a fire, don’t dim down
Let ‘em hear you through the crowd
Say it louder, say it now
You’ve got thunder in your chest
Don’t you dare second guess
Say it louder, say it proud —
You’re a fire, burnin’ out loud
I’ve been the whisper, now I’m the roar
Footsteps echoin’ off the floor
Every word a drum I hit
Every breath says “this is it”
Tried to hide but broke the chain
Gonna dance when they call my name
Every heartbeat, every shout
I’m not holdin’ back now
Say it louder, say it proud
You’re a fire, don’t dim down
Let ‘em hear you through the crowd
Say it louder, say it now
You’ve got thunder in your chest
Don’t you dare second guess
Say it louder, say it proud —
You’re a fire, burnin’ out loud
Ooh — clap back when the world says “no”
Ooh — stomp twice, let the rhythm show
Ooh — you're gold in a world of gray
Say what you need — don’t fade away
Say it louder, say it proud
You’re a fire, don’t dim down
Let ‘em hear you through the crowd
Say it louder, say it now
Raise your voice up to the sky
You're the reason, you're the why
Say it louder, say it proud —
You're a fire, burnin’ out loud
