Raise Your Voice Song Lyrics
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,

"Raise Your Voice" from "Sister Act The Musical" soundtrack is an enpowering anthem that encourages individuals to find their voice and express themselves boldly. Sung by Deloris Van Cartier and the nuns, the song is a pivotal moment in the musical, symbolizing transformation, unity, and the power of music to uplift and inspire.The song begins with Deloris emphasizing the importance of singing with passion and letting ome's voice be heard, "First rule of singin' - Get the rafters ringin'! Toss everything in - dig down deep inside." This sets the stage for a journey of self-discovery and expression, urging the characters to break free from their inhibitions.
As the song progresses, the hesitant and reserved nuns gradually find their confidence, with Deloris encouraging them, "Raise your voice! Lift it up to heaven! Raise your voice! Come on, don’t be shy!" This chorus becomes a rallying cry, not just for the characters, but for anyone seeking the courage to express themselves and stand out.
The interaction between Deloris and the nuns, particularly Mary Robert, showcases a transformation from fear and obedience to boldness and joy. The lyrics, "Why so quiet? Get right up and try it!" followed by the nuns' hesitant but growing contributions, depict this journey of finding one's voice and the joy in expressing it.
The climax of the song, with all the nuns singing together, "Raise your voice! Spread it cross the sky! Blast it! Blare it! Stand and share it! Help the world rejoice!" signifies the collective empowerment and unity achieved through music. It's a celebration of the newfound strength and the communal spirit that music can foster.
"Raise Your Voice" captures the essence of "Sister Act The Musical" - transformation, empowerment, and the transcendent power of music. It encourages listeners to embrace their individuality, express themselves boldly, and unite with others in joy and purpose. Through its uplifting melody and inspiring lyrics, the song is a testament to the impact of raising one’s voice in song and in life.
