Raise Your Voice Lyrics & Chords By Patina Miller, Claire Greenaway, Julia Sutton, Katie Rowley Jones & Ensemble

DELORIS
First rule of singin'
Get the rafters ringin'
Toss everything in
dig down deep inside
When you've got a song worth hearin'
There's one thing to do
just keep your fear from interferin'
and let that sucker burst through
Raise your voice!
Lift it up to heaven!
Raise your voice!
Come on, don't be shy!
If you feel it, why conceal it?
Let your soul rejoice!
Raise the stakes!
Raise your game!
Raise your voice!
Okay, now it's your turn
who's gonna step up
and make some real noise?
Aah, now don't be tryin' to hide from me
Mary Robert!
Why so quiet?
Get right up and try it!
