Shout
Whoopi And The Cast Lyrics

Shout
Call out with a loud voice

Shout
Call out with a loud voice

Let it all out
Release all your pent-up emotions, frustrations or opinions

These are the things I can do without
These are the things that are not worth keeping or holding onto

Come on
Encouragement to take action or do something

I'm talking to you
Directing the message to you specifically

In violent times
During times of turmoil, unrest or chaos

You shouldn't have to sell your soul
You should not have to compromise your values or beliefs

In black and white
In clear and obvious terms

They really really ought to know
They should already be aware of this fact

Those one track minds
People with a single-minded outlook who only see things from one perspective

That took you for a working boy
That saw you as only a laborer or someone who is not important

Kiss them goodbye
Let go of those people or things that are holding you back

You shouldn't have to jump for joy
You should not have to show excessive happiness or excitement in order to please others

They gave you life
Referring to parents or guardians who brought you into this world

And in return you gave them hell
You caused them difficulties or trouble, despite their efforts to raise you

As cold as ice
Unfeeling, unemotional or indifferent

I hope we live to tell the tale
I hope we survive or overcome the challenges that we face

And when you've taken down your guard
When you have let down your defenses and allowed yourself to be vulnerable

If I could change your mind
If I could alter your perspective or point of view

I'd really love to break your heart
I would love for you to experience intense emotional pain or heartbreak
