just another parade
Yesterday's news is tomorrow's blues But today I am alive (I am alive) Today I did much more than survive  I learned to live by the love I give It's the only thing I own Shadowed valleys that I've known Helped me build my home  So tell me why? Why should I be afraid? (Why should you be afraid?) We've seen better We've seen darker days  So tell me why? Why should I be afraid? (Why should you be so afraid?) Sittin' here watching just another parade  Just another parade  Summer will end, then the death begins Grandma's hands are moving slow She takes the time to let me know Winter's winds will blow Will blow  She said look at your sun, he's a golden one Makes you turn your pages slow Is life more precious than we know? Every day unfolds (Every day)  So tell me why? Why should I be afraid? (Why should you be so afraid?) I've seen brighter, seen darker days  So tell me why? Why should I be afraid? (Why should I be so afraid?) Sittin' here watching It's just another parade  Just another parade Just another parade Just another parade  So tell me why Why are you so afraid? Why should I be afraid? When you know we've seen brighter We've seen darker days So tell me why, why should I be afraid? Why should you be afraid?  Sittin' here watchin' it's just another parade Tell me why should I be afraid? I've seen better I've seen darker days Tell me why, why should I be afraid? Sittin' here watchin' it's just another parade
