lirik lagu i want to see the parade – tom t. hall
hold me up, i want to see the parade
there was a demonstration in our town, quiet but very tense
i’ve always been a bit nosy, so i guess that’s the reason i went
there were people carrying signs that said, “we want equality now.”
and i thought to myself, “boy, look at that will you. look what the law allows.”
a little girl and her mother were standing up next to the curb
the little girl said, “mommy, i can’t see the parade”, and it happened that i heard
the woman who was with the little girl was small, and when she turned and smiled
i thought i’d do them a favor, so i offered to hold the child
when i held the little girl in my arms, i was glad of the offer i’d made
she said, “thank you, mister, for holding me up; i wanted to see the parade.”
then she asked me a question, and it took me by surprise
she said, “mister, why does my daddy hate all those people going by? ”
i said, “well you know they’re not the same–but listen to me”
and i noticed that the child was blind, so i looked around for an answer; it was pretty hard to find
so i set her down by her mama’s side and i patted her on the head
and that night as i sat in my own little room, i thought of the words she said
and that night, i took a good look at myself, and this is the prayer i prayed
i said, “lord, i want you to hold me up, ’cause i want to see the parade.”
