I've been too long in the darkness, in the shadows
Listening to the words that tear me down
I've been turning cheeks and blessing hearts for years now

Dodging words that turn to sticks and stones
I know that I cannot stand by in silence
So I'm living my life out loud


Chorus:
I'm living my life out loud

I'm singing it loud and proud
There's no mistakin' it
I'm finally breakin' out

Living my life out loud
I'm living my life out loud
And I'm singing it loud and proud

Because my haters are
My motivators
I'm living my life out loud


I could have walked the path of least resistance
I could have chosen easy over right

I could have simply turned away from conflict
But instead I chose to stand and shine a light
For those of us who cannot stand alone,

I'm living my life out loud

Chorus


Bridge:
Lies left unopposed can sound like truth

Hurtful words can fill an empty room
And though a million try to block our way
The light of hope will chase the hate away


Chorus


Because my haters are
My motivators
I'm living my life out loud
