This Parade

One, two
The battle is on
Three, four
Don’t come running along
I am
Who I am
Don’t wait
For me to hesitate

Cause I don’t have much time to obey
I’ve got reasons to stay alive
And time will tell how much this parade
Will cost me along the way

I do
Intend to be
Honestly
Sweeter then one can be
I gave
Everything
From stiff to swing
But that didn’t mean a thing

Cause I don’t have much time to obey
I’ve got reasons to stay alive
And time will tell how much this parade
Will cost me along the way

“You can have my autograph”
I’m likely to say
No I won’t have an attitude
I will smile as you wave

One, two

Who I am
Don’t wait
for me to hesitate
For me to hesitate

Cause I don’t have much time to obey
I’ve got reasons to stay alive
And time will tell how much this parade
Will cost me along the way
