Out and Proud

[Verse] Quiet street dark night Feels like I can't take flight Living in a shadow here Wishing I could disappear [Verse 2] Whispered words around me Everyone a judge it seems No place to be myself Living like I'm someone else [Chorus] They say don't be too loud But I was born to stand out In a town that hides its frown I won't be their shadow clown [Verse 3] Old folks talk their talk On this broken avenue But I was born to walk In shoes that fit my truth [Bridge] Love is love we'll fly Even if we have to hide One day we'll break through They'll see me and you [Chorus] They say don't be too loud But I was born to stand out In a town that hides its frown I won't be their shadow clown
