This is an original song done for my English class about the downfall of the American Traveling Circus. We had to take a previous essay we did and turn it into another piece of media, such as a podcast, website, book, etc. So I did what no one expected (including myself) and made a song from mine.

It's not perfect, but I'm really proud of it! Maybe others who are more musically inclined could add more backing to it, like another instrument or more harmony parts :) but for now, here it is! Hope you enjoy 💖

Lyrics:
Come one, come all, to bask in delight
See man and beast come take flight
If you believe before your eyes
Take our hand, love our grim ride
Within our tent, some call it home
Those kind and bold are scarred and alone
But worry not, you’re safe here with me
As carnage is hidden with your fee

In the fire’s brim blight
Look at the glowing smiles
Your face, was never yours
Now placed in tragedy’s time

La, la, la, la
Perhaps a love meant to be frayed
La, la la, la la, la la,
I hope you enjoyed the parade

Deep within our canvas stage
You’ll find the beasts of our charade
Flesh is torn, with madness wild
But it’s all worth it for a smile

Though your sanity wanes
You know the show must go on
We know lives will be lost
But god forbid that we’ll be gone

La la la la
Does love’s fire need to be tamed?
La, la la, la la, la la
I hope you enjoyed the parade

Please don’t hurry, don’t go
There’s more than a reason to stay
Love our world, hate our stage
Please don’t let this old circus fade

La la la la
I know our wings have melted away
La, la la, la la, la la
I hope you enjoyed the parade
I hope you enjoyed the parade

I hope you enjoyed the…..parade.
