Gonna hit this town tonight
Let your troubles out of sight
Scream out, spread the word around
Get all up and stand your ground

That's when your heart starts to pound
To the beat and the sound, we'll
Rock the night away

So just hold on to your dreams
And just keep on believing
We are living for today

Loud and proud
Loud and proud, oh oh oh
Loud and proud
Loud and proud

In the cities, in the halls
Throw a party, have a ball
Raise your hands to Rock 'n' roll
Let the rhythm take control

That's when your heart starts to pound
To the beat and the sound, we'll
Rock the night away
So just hold on to your dreams
And just keep on believing
We are living for today

Loud and proud
Loud and proud, oh oh oh
Loud and proud
Loud and proud

That's when your heart starts to pound
To the beat and the sound, we'll
Rock the night away...

Loud and proud, oh yeah, oh yeah
Loud and proud, oh oh oh
Loud and proud
Loud and proud...

Loud and proud
Loud and proud, oh oh oh

Loud and proud
Loud and proud...
