Parade
by Chris Burns

Album: The Dealer

Verse 1
Well, the road is hard
It's hard as concrete
And the road I'm on
Sometimes the quiet street
And I miss my wife
My children, too
And I'm all alone
With loneliness in this hotel room

Verse 2
Yeah, but I'm surrounded
With the praise of man
And oftentimes it's hard to hear
What the Lord has said
Oh, but I've power
And blood on my hands
Been so gone, so long, so far
Become a different man

Chorus
So take me back to where I started
And take me home on a train
And let grace and forgiveness hold me up when I'm to blame
God, He called me to the party
But my first love, I let it lay
Just like a ticket on the ground
It gets me into the parade
Yeah, a change is what I need
Won't You save me, please, yeah yeah?

Verse 3
When all my dreams
They're coming true
But the dream
Ain't a dream without you
Oh, I wanna go home
Tired of the games
I wanna hear your voice
And I want you to hear me say

Chorus
Take me back to where I started
Take me home on a train
And let grace and forgiveness hold me up when I'm to blame
'Cause God, He called me to the party
But my first love, I let it lay
Just like a ticket on the ground
It gets me into the parade
Yeah, a change is what I need
Won't You save me, please?
Won't You save me, please mm?

Outro
Take me home on the train
