[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] The world ignites in sparkling gold, With fabled tales once bravely told. We walk along this painted street, As blistered hopes and rhythms meet. [Verse 2] The trumpets sound, the banners flare, No silence lingers in the air. We march through time with lifted heads, Embracing light where daylight treads. [Chorus] This is the sunset parade, We drift like clouds that roam all day. We sing our song in pure delight, And dance our hearts into the night. [Verse 3] Confetti falls like scattered stars, Each sparkle leaves a brand new scar. A carousel of almosts spins, The past still lingers deep within. [Bridge] We dress our wounds in tangerine, Accept that pain is mere routine Our bandaged souls are slow to heal, We can’t outrun the way we feel. [Solo – shimmering guitar or keys, bittersweet tone] [Chorus – repeat with more emotion] This is the sunset parade, We drift like clouds that roam all day. We sing our song in pure delight, And dance our dreams into the night. [Outro played with a different chord progression] When final notes begin to wane, Our hearts will beat one shared refrain. The sunset’s hues will slip to gray, We'll bid farewell to our parade. [Fading instrumental Ending] [End]
