Raise Your Voice (Mosher) © 2014 Brian Mosher Music

I had a big mouth when I was a kid
I guess I had a lot to say
Just like everyone else my age I was trying hard to get my way
Mama telling me “no” was a battle charge
On the place where my dreams were hung
Anytime I didn’t get what I want I would scream at the top of my lungs

And she’d say why - Why you gotta raise your voice?
Why you gotta stir up trouble? Why can’t you look me in the eye?
Why you wanna start a fight? There’s always a better choice
You ain’t living in a bubble
Oh, why, why you gotta raise your voice?

Now that I’ve got a few kids of my own
The future looks like the past
People always say to enjoy the ride
‘Cause it all goes by so fast
It didn’t take long before I knew what Mama was talking about
‘Cause just when I get the baby to sleep the others just scream and shout

And I say why - Why you gotta raise your voice?
Why you gotta stir up trouble? Why can’t you look me in the eye?
Why you wanna start a fight? There’s always a better choice
You ain’t living in a bubble
Oh, why, why you gotta raise your voice?

Break

But Mama told me then
So I’m telling you now
Do the best you can
Don’t let nobody bring you down
Don’t you let ‘em bring you down

That’s why
Why you gotta raise your voice
Why you gotta stir up trouble
Just look them in the eye
Sometimes you gotta start a fight
Even if there’s a better choice
You gotta rise up from the rubble
That’s why, why you gotta raise your voice
