Traveling Saints
Embrace the Parade: A Journey of Redemption and Celebration
Lyrics
Come winner and loser
Come, regardless of whether you've won or lost
Come broken and whole
Come, whether you're broken or whole
Come all who made it wrong
Come, all who have made mistakes
Take off the weight
Release the burdens you carry
Let the chains fall away
Let go of the chains that bind you
And join this parade
Join this collective celebration
And bring your sorrows bring your joy
Bring both your sorrows and your joys
Dance like you never could before
Dance with newfound freedom and abandon
Come traveling saints
Come, you who are on a spiritual journey
Come fancy or plain
Come, whether adorned or plain
Come all who don't relate
Come, even if you feel disconnected
It's a brand new day
Embrace the opportunities of a fresh start
It's a blood stained stage
Acknowledge the challenges marked by struggles
So join this parade
Participate in this shared journey
And bring your sorrows bring your joy
Share both your sorrows and your joys
Dance like you never have before
Dance with a sense of liberation
Here and there through all your wear and tear
Despite wear and tear, experience the beauty
Still you can hear that trumpet in the air
Still, the call to celebration is clear
Come winner and loser
Reiteration of the invitation to all, winners or losers
Come broken and whole
Invitation to those who are both broken and whole
Come all who made it wrong
All are welcome, regardless of past mistakes
Take off the weight
Encouragement to shed the burdens you carry
Let the chains fall away
Let go of the inhibitions holding you back
And join this parade
Participate in this communal celebration
And bring your sorrows bring your joy
Bring both the challenges and joys you carry
Dance like you never could before
Dance with a sense of freedom and newfound expression
Dance like you never have before
Reiteration of the call to dance with unrestrained joy
