Live Out Loud - Steven Curtis Chapman

Imagine this...I get a phone call from Regis 
He says, "Do you want to be a millionaire?" 
They put me on the show and I win with two lifelines to spare 
Now picture this...I act like nothing ever happened 
And bury all the money in a coffee can 
Well, I've been given more than Regis ever gave away 
I was a dead man who was called to come out of my grave 
And I think it's time for makin' some noise 

Wake the neighbors, get the word out 
Come on...crank up the music...climb a mountain and shout 
This is life we've been given made to be lived out 
So la la la la live out loud 
Live out loud, yeah 

Think about this...try to keep a bird from singing 
After it's soared up in the sky 
Give the sun a cloudless day and tell it not to shine 
Now think about this...if we really have been given 
The gift of a life that will never end 
And if we have been filled with living hope we're gonna overflow 
And if God's love is burning in our hearts we're gonna glow 
There's just no way to keep it in 

Wake the neighbors, get the word out 
Come on...crank up the music...climb a mountain and shout 
This is life we've been given made to be lived out 
So la la la la live out loud 
Live out loud, yeah 

Everybody, come on 
La la la...la la la la 
La la la live out loud 
I want to hear everybody sing 
La la la...la la la la 
La la la live out loud, loud, loud 

Every corner of creation is a living declaration 
Come join the song we were made to sing 

Wake the neighbors, get the word out 
Come on...crank up the music...climb a mountain and shout 
This is life we've been given made to be lived out 
So la la la la live out loud 
Live out loud, yeah
