When my head gets heavy and the words won't come And I’m hiding in the shadows of the crowd Will your heart still listen to the beat of my drum If I finally start to say it all out loud? Honey, I’m evolving, changing every day Finding colors that I never used to show I’m terrified of what the world might say But I’m leaning in and letting it all go. People fall in love in mysterious ways Maybe it’s the way we speak our truth Well, I’m diving in, I’m ending the quiet phase I’m finding the fire I had in my youth. So baby, take me into your loving arms Listen to the secrets I’ve been keeping deep inside I’m trading in the silence for the morning stars I’ve got nothing left to bury, nothing left to hide. I’m just speaking out loud Maybe we found a voice right where we are. When my hair’s all silver and my memory fades And I don't remember the songs I used to sing I’ll know I didn't spend my life in the shades Or waiting for a bell that wouldn't ring. ‘Cause honey, my soul could never be small It was meant to ring out like a cathedral bell I’m standing upright, I’m standing tall With a thousand stories that I’m gonna tell. ‘Cause baby, souls don't age, they only get loud Maybe that’s the part of the master plan I’m stepping out from the edge of the crowd Holding my own in the palm of my hand. Oh, I’m speaking it, breathing it, feeling it now No more whispers, no more wondering how I’m here... I’m loud... Maybe we found a voice right where we are And we’re speaking out loud
