Lyrics

Parade

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I face it each morning

I see myself and wonder why

The mirror would haunt me

And wants to show the things I hide

I feel like I'm naked

And the world is watching to the bone

Consuming my power

And it sometimes feels - I'm on my own

We hide behind

Facades of light

That leave us blind

Don't wanna walk the parade

Don't wanna be in the race

I don't wanna walk the parade

Don't wanna be someone, be someone else

Don't touch me, don't change me

I wanna be who I am

Don't want to walk the parade

We serve and deliver

And claim to be the justified

Our values are shattered

While we surrender our pride

We hide behind

Facades of light

That leave us blind

Don't wanna walk the parade

Don't wanna be in the race

I don't wanna walk the parade

Don't wanna be someone, be someone else

Don't touch me, don't change me

I wanna be who I am

Don't want to walk the parade

I don't wanna give in

I don't care what they think

If anything is real then love is

There is a world full of joy

And it's easy to share

Just be yourself and feel what I feel

Don't wanna walk the parade

Don't wanna be in the race

I don't wanna walk the parade

Don't wanna be someone, be someone else

Don't touch me, don't change me

I wanna be who I am

Don't wanna walk the parade

Or be in the race

I don't wanna walk the parade

Don't wanna be someone, be someone else

Don't wanna walk the parade

Don't wanna be in the race

I don't wanna walk the parade

Don't wanna be someone, be someone else

Don't wanna walk the parade
