"The Louder We Get" from Prom Queen: The Musical

"The Louder We Get" Music by Colleen Dauncey, Lyrics by Akiva Romer-Segal I'm tired of being so afraid and standing on the side. Watching from the shadows as they try to crush your pride. Though you've been brave and held your ground, they still refuse to fold. You don’t have to fight alone, you have my hand to hold. I’m sorry it took me this long. From now on we stand twice as strong. They haven't heard the last of us, they haven't heard at all. This is the sound of breaking ground, this is our battle call. If they think they’ve seen the end, they ain't seen nothing yet. The more they try to silence us The louder we get. I’ve never seen you giving up. You're not about to start. Words have never failed you when you're speaking from the heart. It’s time to show we won't shut up, won’t take it anymore. Raise our voice and make some noise that they cannot ignore. Together we’ll follow this through. I promise I’m right next to you. They haven't heard the last of us, they haven't heard at all. This is the sound of breaking ground, this is our battle call. If they think they’ve seen the end, they ain't seen nothing yet. The more they try to silence us The louder we get. One voice, one song. One little spark lighting up the dark. One word, one truth, one heart. One face, one cause, One drop of rain in a hurricane, One life, one world, one love. They haven't heard the last of us, they haven't heard at all. This is the sound of breaking ground, this is our battle call. If they think they've seen the end, they ain't seen nothing yet. The more they try to silence us The louder we get. They haven’t heard the last of us. © Colleen Dauncey & Akiva Romer-Segal From Prom Queen: The Musical Music by Colleen Dauncey Lyrics by Akiva Romer-Segal Book by Kent Staines Produced by Mary Young Leckie Featuring the 2014 workshop cast of the Canadian Musical Theatre Project at Sheridan College Directed by Marcia Kash Musical Direction and Accompaniment by Mark Camilleri Cast: Gavin Bowerman Colton Curtis Tom Davis Quinn Dooley Jacquelyn French Shane Gramlich Aisha Jarvis Jeff Mendonca Nik Murillo Lucas Popowich Tringa Rexhepi Colin Simmons Melissa Torelli
