"Raise your voice" is the title of the original song written for the CLOE Project, during the Music Distance Co-creation Lab.
This song is the result of a co-creation process among artists and creatives from the partners’ countries: Italy, Greece and Portugal.
It will be the soundtrack of a common performance, shared by the partners and performed during the Concept Street Musical of each country involved.
The whole process began in Portugal, where the lyrics of the song were written under the direction of:
Ana Pinho
Musical theatre actress, singer, dancer, writer, director and trainer – Portugal.
Daniel Padrão
Musician and singer – Portugal.

VERSE 1:
When silence surrounds you and it feels like letting go
Take the melody inside, feel the rhythm in your soul
When the clock is up against you and life is passing you by
Take the power growing in you, give yourself another try
Look outside your window, draw your world in your own terms
Let the colors shine within, let the stillness drive your words
Open your door, feel the wind run through your hair
Find your wings and fly again if you can dream to dare
PRE-CHORUS:
You’ve got what it takes to change darkness into light
Pain into a good fight, give fear a new bright sight
Get your stars to be all aligned…
CHORUS:
Raise your voice and sing out loud,
let our differences combine
Lift it high among the crowd,
fill our unison with pride
Make it all rise above
Go and make a new choice
Create a harmony of love,
give the world another voice
VERSE 2:
Sirens’ song fills the air, it gets right into your heart
Through the eyes of a stranger see a future worlds apart
It’s time to lay out your hand, put indifference in the past
Write inclusion in the present, make connections built to last
PRE-CHORUS:
You’ve got what it takes to change darkness into light
Pain into a good fight, give fear a new bright sight
Get your stars to be all aligned…
CHORUS:
Raise your voice and sing out loud,
let our differences combine
Lift it high among the crowd,
fill our unison with pride
Make it all rise above
Go and make a new choice
Create a harmony of love,
give the world another voice
