HAPPY PARADE
​
Fear of Things Unknown
Now I know the things inside your head
Better now, some things are left unsaid
With open arms I let you run right back to me
I'll dry those tears from off your cheeks and then we'll see
​
If all the love I gave to you is gone dear
If all that's left right now is fear
Of everything unknown
​
All those nights we huddled up all tight
All those times I whispered, "Everything's alright."
Are they gone? Did you drop them off with someone else?
Oh my dear, where have you been while I've been all alone?
​
Is all the love I gave to you far gone dear
Is all that's left right now the fear
Of everything unknown?
​
Oh, I don't know what to do. My heart's in ruins over you.
And each breath that I take, well, I'm taking it for you
Don't know how, don't know what I'm gonna' do
We gotta' bring things up just a little bit
But inside I feel that I will pull through
​
Is all the love I gave to you far gone dear
Is all that's left right now the fear
Of everything unknown?
​
Happy Parade
The sun ain't shinin' no more
Good times have all locked the door
Remember things that were right
By photographs in the night
​
When things are looking their lowest
Chin up and greet the new day
With open arms and open will to dream
Your fears will dissolve away
As you lead the parade
​
You march in happy parade
We're marching everyday
Ignoring things that they say
To rain on our cavalcade
​
You march in happy parade
​
The sun ain't shinin' no more
Good times have all locked the door
Feeling things that were right
By memory in the night
As you lead the parade
​
You march in happy parade
We're marching everyday
Ignoring things that they say
To rain on our cavalcade
​
You march in happy parade
​
Where Are You Now?
Where are you now? Where are you now?
Are you sitting in the light? Have you told our pets goodnight?
​
Does your back hurt tonight? I'm sorry I'm not there.
You know I can fix it right
Hold on tight.
Hold on tight.
​
Oh the moon that's out so bright tonight
I see it too
And the sun to come tomorrow
Warms my skin too
And even though there's miles between us
I can feel your heart beat
And in my mind I know that we'll be okay
One step closer to the day...
​
Where are you now? Where are you now?
Are you watching our TV? Are you thinking of me?
​
Does your head ache tonight?
Does your tongue taste of wine?
I'm sorry I'm not there to share a bottle, so fine.
​
Oh the moon that's out so bright tonight
I see it too
And the sun to come tomorrow
Warms my skin too
And even though there's miles between us
I can feel your heart beat
And in my mind I know that we'll be okay
One step closer to the day...
​
Where are you now? Where are you now?
Are you sitting in your chair? Are you coloring your hair?
​
Does your heart ache tonight?
I'm sorry I'm not there.
You know I can fix it right
Hold on tight.
Hold on tight.

The Girl Who Liked the Boys
There once was a boy whom you thought was so fine
And every time you seen him, you said, "He must be mine."
This happens oh so very, so very often now
And closing one door always opens up one behind
​
But every time he comes in and sits down by your side
You think about the things that you always try to hide
Like that one time when...
No, no, you mustn't tell
Or that one time when all you...
Huh uh, all is well
​
And when they say it's time to settle down
You know you'd really rather run around
Yeah when they tell you, baby, settle down
You know you really want to run around
​
Eenie meenie miney mo
Catch a tiger by his toe
And if he hollers let him go
No, no, not today
​
Everybody always stickin' noses where they don't belong
Everybody always thinks that nobody is ever wrong
Everyone everywhere singing everybody's songs
Not them, not you, not now
​
And when they say it's time to settle down
You know you'd really rather run around
Yeah when they tell you, baby, settle down
You know you really want to run around
Choices
You see them go, you ask them where they're going and can you come too.
They say, "Come on, it will be fun but you can't tell nobody... ever."
​
Oh no, this sounds like something you should not do.
Oh no, just go on home and forget you ever saw them.
​
And then you see her, it's that girl you like that lives down the road from you.
Maybe if she hadn't been there you'd have made some wiser choices?
​
Oh no, this sounds like something you should not do.
Oh no, just go on home and forget you ever saw them.
​
Seventeen, you shouldn't know what the inside of jail is like.
Seventeen, you shouldn't know how to tell if your bail is set right.
​
Your mom and dad come to visit you and you cannot look at them,
It was about this time last year they came to see you play the big game.
​
Oh no, this sounds like something you should not do.
Oh no, just go on home and forget you ever saw them.
Oh no, this sounds like something you should not do.
Oh no, just go on home and forget you ever saw them.
​
Promise
Anywhere you go, yes I'll be with you
Everywhere you go, just watch the sky
Anywhere you go, yes I'll be with you
Watching over you, yes, with my eyes
​
If ever anyone were to try to hurt you
You don't need to worry none
I'll be there to help you, even if you can't see
Watching over you, yes, with my heart
