Dare to be Loud

Written July 27, 2020 • Released August 02, 2020

Being yourself
(Being yourself)
Is hard to do
(Is hard to do)
When it feels like the world is against you
But we've got each other
(We've got each other)
Cause we get to choose
(We get to choose)
Who we call family
They've walked in our shoes

We got love
(Love, love, love)
We got pride
We refuse to hide
(We refuse to hide)
We are here
We are now
We dare to be loud
(We dare to be loud)
We got love
(Love, love, love)
We got pride
We refuse to hide
(We refuse to hide)
We are here
We are now
We dare to be loud
(We dare to be loud)
(We dare to be loud)
(We dare to be loud)

We got love
We got pride
We refuse to hide
We are here
(We are now)
We are now
We dare to be loud
(We dare to be loud)
(We dare to be loud)
(We dare to be loud)
(We dare to be)

Everyone
(Everyone)
Deserves the chance
(Deserves the chance)
To explore who they are
And join in the dance
We can't make real progress
(We can't make real progress)
Leaving people behind
(Leaving people behind)
Intersectionality means
We're all intertwined
(Intertwined)

We got love
(We got love)
We got pride
We refuse to hide
We are here
(We are here)
We are now
We dare to be loud
(We dare to be loud)
(We dare to be loud)
(We dare to be loud)
(We dare to be)

We dare to be loud
We dare to be loud

Dare to Be Loud is a single released in honor of Pride 2020. It is a short dance-inspired bop covering the importance of chosen family, intersectionality, and the reality that the mere existence of queer people comes across as a bold statement of daring to be loud.
