Story Behind the Song
A strong, powerful, upbeat track that was written about an adult who has come to terms with abuse that they suffered as a child. The lyrics explain how talking things through can help the healing process, and that ultimately, we are all in control of our own destiny.
Lyrics
I learnt real early not to cry out
Mustn’t really make a sound
Dad's all friction, Mum’s addiction
I look to you to help me out
Try to think that it’s ‘alright’
The way I feel about your persuasion
In fact, I feel a little uptight
Inside me there’s a big explosion
Shout it over
The highest mountain
Across the ocean, above the trees
Shout it out, over the rooftops
I want to live, as I believe
It’s a Monday, I feel hazy
Lady Apathy on my mind
Bro’s crucifixion, my affliction
Nothing here to get me out
I try to say that it’s not right
Something’s missing in conversation
I try to heal, get some oversight
Take a pill for the situation
Shout it over
The highest mountain
Across the ocean, above the trees
Shout it out, over the rooftops
I want to live, as I believe
You’re gonna be alright, I’m a survivor
You’re gonna be alright, I’m a survivor
You’re gonna be alright, I’m a survivor
You’re gonna be alright, I’m gonna be alright
Shout it over
The highest mountain
Across the ocean, above the trees
Shout it out, over the roof tops
I want to ‘live’ as I believe
