“Rainy Day Parade”
While you’re stepping over fallen people lying in the streets
You the great offenders, only your views matter
While your heart grows colder, I wish that you could open up and feel
For a while see if you can take it
Feel, you’re alive and this is all part of it
Feel, could it be that we’re all afraid
‘Cause it feels like a rainy day parade
We the great believers, blood is legal tender
I will not surrender what it was our fathers died to bear
We the people stated, not negotiated
Just to be forgotten, I wish that you could open up and see
For a while see if you can take it
See, you’re alive and this is all part of it
See, can’t you see that we’re all afraid
‘Cause it seems like a rainy day parade
What I see is all too real
What I need is what you steal
And all I reap is what you take
Upon my back on which you break
I just wish that we could rise above and feel
For a while see if you can take it
Feel, you’re alive and this is all part of it
Feel could it be that we’re all afraid
‘Cause it feels like a rainy day parade
