There's a girl that's in the playground with a photograph Holding everything that's perfect in a frame Giving lollipops to strangers who were going past They were shocked as she would often know their names She'd pick lilacs in the sun While a vagrant beat a drum Than she'd walk along the log out by the pond All these people in her space With a sadness on their face And she'd often wonder why When nothing's wrong She is the way she is and that's the way it is Her laughter never fading over time And while we all create excuses to be miserable, yea She'll smile for any reason she can find And she makes every day She makes every day She makes every day feel like a parade Oh she makes every day She makes every day She makes every day feel like a parade She was seen out in the city on her bicycle Her rainbow colored sock beside the chain She controlled her own perspective with her handlebars Then she road right through the space between the rain A bloody scrape upon her knee After falling from a tree Then she's off to skipping rocks across the pond And all the people in her space With a sadness on their face And she'd often wonder why when nothings wrong She is the way she is and that's the way it is Her laughter never fading over time And while we all create excuses to be miserable, yea She'll smile for any reason she can find And she makes every day She makes every day She makes every day feel like a parade Oh she makes every day She makes every day She makes every day feel like a parade If the whole world could just listen When she spoke to you There's only one announcement she would make She'd say life is just a song that can be sang so many ways But you have to hear the music when it plays The music when it plays She is the way she is and that's the way it is Her laughter never fading over time And while we all create excuses to be miserable, yea She'll smile for any reason she can find And she makes every day She makes every day She makes every day feel like a parade Oh she makes every day She makes every day She makes every day feel like a parade She makes every day She makes every day feel like a parade Oh she makes every day She makes every day She makes every day feel like a parade
