Speak New Words 2008 Contest Entry: Our Lights on Parade (13 Flashlights)
BackAge 13-20 Category This song was made for a good friend of mine, Ashley. She deserves something like this. Shane does too, but that's gonna be later... LYRICS! Verse 1: In the park I see a lonely little school girl She's in my class just moved in from a state from half the world away Don't be afraid, Sally If KINDNESS was a crime I guess you can arrest me. Next week in gym a kid fell over; broke his glasses Unlike the movies, he would fail all but one class that he liked About to give up the fight But had to study hard and had a good report card Chorus: Break away from the trite Or you won't get very far You gotta do what is right You got to reach for the stars Tonight, this is our fight To take our flashlights and go off parading into the night. Verse 2: A decade later I'm about to get my license, In a room with frowns I'm smiling really wide I don't bite, Sir, I'm just the OPTIMISTIC type Before you know it I'll be cruising down the turnpike. There was this guy who rolled in at my church service I've never seen a body looking like the nervous Mistakes he made Its okay, Jake. We're only human but you must let go for your sake. Chorus (2x): Break away from the trite Or you won't get very far You gotta do what is right You got to reach for the stars Tonight, this is our fight To take our flashlights and go parading into moonlight. Interlude: We need COURAGE to break the skies We need FORGIVENESS to dry those eyes We need KINDNESS to make new friends With OPTIMISM to make you smile again The SELF-ESTEEM to heal your heart And PATIENCE not to tailgate slow cars DETERMINATION to outshine stars And the VISION to travel that far A FATHER'S LOVE to inspire son's To change the world with their life and not guns. We need the HOPE and HUMILITY That with RESPECT will come LOYALTY. Chorus : Break away from the trite Or you won't get very far You gotta do what is right You got to reach for the stars Tonight, this is our fight To take our flashlights and go parading into moonlight.
