Life's a Grand Parade

[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] On the streets where we walked, shadows stretch and bend Echoes of our laughter, in the wind, they blend Dreams we spun so freely, now tangled in the past In the corners of this city, where nothing seems to last [Chorus] Through the sweet haze of memory, I find my way (find my way) Marching to the heartbeat of yesterday (yesterday) Life's a grand parade, in shades of gray In the symphony of moments, we dance away (dance away) [Instrumental Break] [Verse 2] Every face I pass, a story untold, lying deep Underneath the city lights, secrets that we keep The pavement holds the whispers, of steps we used to trace In the endless quest for grace, in this human race [Chorus] Through the sweet haze of memory, I find my way (find my way) Marching to the heartbeat of yesterday (yesterday) Life's a grand parade, in shades of gray In the symphony of moments, we dance away (dance away) [Bridge] And as the violins play, a melancholy tune I wander through the echoes of an afternoon The bitter taste of what was, the sweetness of what's new In every note, a memory, in every silence, a clue [Verse 3] The river's flow whispers of times both harsh and kind Reflections in the water, like mirrors of the mind Here in the dance of light and shadow, I find my refrain In the bittersweet symphony, life starts again [Chorus] Through the sweet haze of memory, I find my way (find my way) Marching to the heartbeat of yesterday (yesterday) Life's a grand parade, in shades of gray In the symphony of moments, we dance away (dance away) [Outro]
