Lyrics to Out Loud by Mindy Smith Hey friend, why are we always hiding It's no wonder that we're sinking down Why should we stand in lonely shadows with so much light around. Hey friend, why are we always cryin' so many tears are going to dry us out whatever they're selling we've gotta stop buying 'cause our pockets are empty now. Chorus: I've thought about it and I've prayed about it out loud ..
