Lyrics
At the Top of Your Lungs
Well there’s evil heavy in the air, and there’s fraud, and fear, and death
But there’s also goodness fighting hard for each and every breath
Count me amongst the righteous, count yourself amongst the strong
And may we all live up to that name, and raise our voice in song!
Live your life at the top of your lungs (x4)
Use your voice, your values, your vote, shine them bright for all to see
Your feet, your hands, your heart are stronger than evil will ever be
But too many of us stay quiet, it’s too easy to turn away
Your brothers and sisters need you, you have to say what you have to say!
Live your life at the top of your lungs (x4)
If you can't...live your life at the top of your lungs, what is any of us doing?
Live your life, live your life at the top of your lungs
At the top of your lungs (x3)
When your throat is raw from the protest, when your feet hurt like hell from the march
When you've left it all out on the field for this fight you might finally find peace in your heart
We have the right to dream a new world, and the power to make it real
We the People, alive and engaged - the American dream revealed!
Live your life at the top of your lungs (x4)
If you can't...live your life at the top of your lungs, what is any of us doing?
Live your life, live your life at the top of your lungs
At the top of your lungs (x3)
