Sing It Louder
By Yves Stilmant © 2025

[Verse 1A]
They were just kids with beat-up gear
Playing songs no one would hear
In a garage where dreams begin
No spotlight then, just hearts and skin
[Verse 1B]
I saw 'em once at the county fair
Tiny stage, but they lit up the air
Something pure in the way they played
Like every word had something to say
[Pre-Chorus]
And when they sang, I swear it broke the night
Like they were born to bring the dark to light

[Chorus]
Sing it louder
Raise the sound
Sing it louder
Hearts on fire
Sing it louder
Tears and laughter
Sing it louder
Just the flame
Sing it louder
Joy and pain
Sing it louder
Sun and rain
Sing it louder

[Verse 2A]
They never chased the record deals
Just played for folks who needed to heal
I watched them turn a song to gold
No price tag on a soul consoled
[Verse 2B]
A kid beside me wept that night
Said, "This song just saved my life"
And I believed it -- every line
Some chords can bend the hands of time
[Pre-Chorus]
It wasn't perfect, but it felt like grace
The kind of truth no fame can fake

[Chorus]
Sing it louder
Raise the sound
Sing it louder
Hearts on fire
Sing it louder
Tears and laughter
Sing it louder
Just the flame
Sing it louder
Joy and pain
Sing it louder
Sun and rain
Sing it louder

[Bridge]
They gave more than they ever took
No fancy merch, no cover look
But every voice they helped to find
Still echoes through this heart of mine

[Final Chorus - Variation]
Sing it louder
Break the night
Sing it louder
Shine so bright
Sing it louder
Hope and healing
Sing it louder
Truth remains
Sing it louder
Every voice
Sing it louder
Every choice
Sing it louder

[Outro]
So if you hear them play someday
Know that they were born that way
To sing it louder...
