Parade

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 am 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 want to walk the parade
Don’t wanna be in the race
I don’t want to 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 want to walk the parade…

I don’t want to 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 want to walk the parade…

Don’t want to walk the parade…
