Verse 1 They can roll their eyes, they can act so tough Throwing little words like they mean that much But I know truth and it sounds like this A heart full of light is hard to miss They can make noise, but they don’t define Who I am or how I shine I’ve got good people by my side And a beat in my chest I’m not gonna hide Pre-Chorus Turn it up, let the whole room hear Love gets loud when the brave get near Kindness hits like a marching drum And we are not the ones who run Chorus We’re louder than the mean kids Higher than the cheap hits Bigger than the bad words Shining like a thousand birds Hands up, hearts big We don’t quit, we outlive it They can talk, but we know this Love is louder than the mean kids Post-Chorus Hey, hey We don’t shrink away Hey, hey We’ve got light to raise Hey, hey Let them fade, let them fade Love is louder anyway Verse 2 Maybe they laugh when they don’t understand Maybe they hurt and they pass it hand to hand But I won’t wear what they try to send Their storm is not where my story ends I’ve got color, I’ve got sound I’ve got dreams that won’t back down I was made for more than fear And I’m standing taller being here Pre-Chorus Turn it up, let the whole room hear Love gets loud when the brave get near Kindness hits like a marching drum And we are not the ones who run Chorus We’re louder than the mean kids Higher than the cheap hits Bigger than the bad words Shining like a thousand birds Hands up, hearts big We don’t quit, we outlive it They can talk, but we know this Love is louder than the mean kids Bridge Stomp, clap, let the truth break through There is nothing wrong with you Side by side, we rise like this Joy gets stronger when we resist Stomp, clap, take your power back You are never what they lack Sing it out so the hurt kids hear You belong right here, right here Final Chorus We’re louder than the mean kids Higher than the cheap hits Bigger than the bad words Shining like a thousand birds Hands up, hearts big We don’t quit, we outlive it They can talk, but we know this Love is louder than the mean kids Outro Hey, hey We don’t fade away Hey, hey We’ve got light to raise Hey, hey Stand tall, don’t forget You are not done yet
