(Verse 1) Everybody's talking. Nobody's saying much. Following the noise, Never asking why. I'm up before the sunrise, Laughing at the day. If you think I'm keeping quiet... You don't know me. (Pre-Chorus) You can clip my feathers. You can shake the tree. But if you've ever met this bird... You know what's coming. (Chorus) Squawk it up! Turn it way up loud! If you're gonna find your voice, Don't hide it in the crowd. Squawk it up! Let the whole world hear. Life is way too short To disappear. Squawk it up! (Verse 2) I've perched on broken branches. I've flown through wind and rain. I've watched a thousand sunsets. Still singing just the same. Some collect opinions. Some collect applause. I'd rather chase another sunrise Than live by someone else's laws. (Pre-Chorus) You can doubt tomorrow. You can doubt this bird. But once these wings start moving... You'll remember every word. (Chorus) Squawk it up! Turn it way up loud! If you're gonna find your voice, Don't hide it in the crowd. Squawk it up! Let the whole world hear. Life is way too short To disappear. Squawk it up! (Bridge) A song doesn't ask permission. The sunrise doesn't wait. This bird wasn't born To live inside a cage. If I can lift one heart... If I can make one smile... Then every mile was worth it. Every single mile. (Final Chorus) Squawk it up! Turn it way up loud! Every feather tells a story. Every voice should make it out. Squawk it up! This is who I am. I don't sing because I'm fearless. I sing... Because I can. Squawk it up! One more time! SQUAWK IT UP!
