[Intro]
Uh, uh, uh
Uh, uh, uh
Uh, uh, uh
[Verse 1]
You're painting a picture of what you would prefer
Of what you want to see come out of your life
But every now and then you gotta open up your eyes
It's all running together taking forever
And I know just what the feeling is like
But you can't just let it all pass you by
[Pre-Chorus]
How did you know [?]
Why don't you let it show?
[Chorus]
Wanna see you in your most outrageous style
Wanna see you in your most courageous smile
Live it, love it, oh, you know you wanna try
Hey, it's your life
You've got the love
You've got the Lord
You've got to hold on to it
Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, hey, it's your life
[Verse 2]
Uh, uh, uh
Uh, uh, uh
Uh, uh, uh
Run away to your own beat, trip over your own feet
At least you know you might be finding your way
And you're closer than you were back in the day
[Pre-Chorus]
How did you know [?]
Why don't you let it show?
[Chorus]
Wanna see you in your most outrageous style
Wanna see you in your most courageous smile
Live it, love it, oh, you know you wanna try
Hey, it's your life
You've got the love
You've got the Lord
You've got to hold on to it
Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, hey, it's your life
[Bridge]
Ooh, lookin' for answers, life is a dancer
It's gonna ask you questions, you may not ever know
And all you gotta do is just let it go
Uh, uh, uh
Uh, uh, uh
Uh, uh, uh
[Chorus]
Wanna see you in your most outrageous style
Wanna see you in your most courageous smile
Live it, love it, oh, you know you wanna try
Hey, it's your life
You've got the love
You've got the Lord
You've got to hold on to it
Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, hey, it's your life
Outrageous
Song Meaning
Rachael Lampa keeps "Outrageous" loose and encouraging rather than doctrinal — "you're painting a picture of what you would prefer... but every now and then you gotta open up your eyes." The song is aimed at hesitation more than sin, the specific moment someone holds back a life they actually want to live. "Run away to your own beat, trip over your own feet — at least you know you might be finding your way" makes room for imperfect attempts rather than requiring a finished plan first.
The chorus keeps its theology brief but present — "you've got the love, you've got the Lord, you've got to hold on to it" — treating boldness not as self-generated confidence but as something already given that just needs holding onto. "Wanna see you in your most outrageous style... most courageous smile" reframes boldness as closer to courage than to attention-seeking.
"Life is a dancer, it's gonna ask you questions you may not ever know" admits the song doesn't have every answer either — its closing advice, "all you gotta do is just let it go," is offered as trust rather than certainty.
