24 Hour Parade
Charlie Peacock
I see the poor boy on the run
No need to fall again I say
Do right, stay true
One life, be you
I see the poetry in tones of blue
Cascading ripple light
That’s right, sublime
True blue, in rhyme
I know this day
Is another 24 hour parade
Of everything I believe
You too can, always be
Ready to be anything you need to be
Or need to do or say
Come what may
I see the lion on the prowl
I drop a knee and say a prayer
Come Light, true Truth
One Life, in You
I seek to live the righteous dream
So deep and wide and beautiful
All faith, this hope
Love first, let’s go
I know this day
Is another 24 hour parade
Of everything I believe
You too can, always be
Ready to be anything you need to be
Or need to do or say
Come what may
It’s all about everybody in the same boat
No kings no queens just everyday people
Like Sly Stone sang about in 1969
We’re all drinkin’ the same wine
Need the same touch, same love
Do right, stay true
One life, be you
That’s right, sublime
True blue, in rhyme
All faith, this hope
Love first, let’s go
