Lyrics
Big 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 don't wanna get personal
Why have you put me on the spot?
I don't know how you feel
But for me it's getting hard
Swimming in the deep blue sea
Marching in the big parade
All I need is a little shade
Standing in the light of love
Standing in the light of love
Doesn't matter who you are
Or who you're not
All it takes is a little love
To make a handout worth a lot
Swimming in the deep blue sea
Marching in the big parade
All I need is a little shade
Standing in the light of your love
Standing in the light of love
Drowning in the deep blue sea
Drudging in the long parade
All I need is a little shade
Standing in the light of your love
Standing in the light of love
Standing in the light of love
Standing in the light of love
