Story Behind The Song
Based on my personal view of how easily people take the good deeds of others for granted or even seek to exploit them
Song Description
The song is a general call to everyone to pay attention to the generous things people do for others every day that usually get taken for granted and reward their lack of selfishness appropriately

Lyrics
PARADE
THIS IS FOR PEOPLE TAKEN FOR GRANTED
AND YOU KNOW ALL WHO YOU ARE
FOR EVERY GOOD DEED THAT'S NEVER ACKNOWLEDGED
AND EVERY REWARD LEFT UNRECONCILED
CHORUS
WHERE IS THEIR PARADE?
WHERE ARE THE THANK-YOUS?
WHERE IS THE PAYBACK FOR ALL OF THE PATIENCE
THEY DISPLAYED?
EVERYONE WANTS TO FEEL THEY'RE SPECIAL
NODDING PROUD HEADS HUMBLED WITH PRIDE
INSTEAD OF FEELING MORE ISOLATED
SEEING THEIR EFFORTS GO UNRECOGNIZED
CHORUS
WHERE IS THEIR PARADE?
WHERE ARE THE THANK-YOUS?
WHERE IS THE PAYBACK FOR ALL OF THE PATIENCE
THEY DISPLAYED?
INTERLUDE
GIVE THEM THEIR PARADE?
LET'S GIVE THEM A THANK YOU?
GIVE THEM A MOMENT FOR ALL OF THE PATIENCE
THEY DISPLAYED?
