Celebration Day lyrics

Her face is cracked from smilin'

All the fears that she's been hidin'

and is seems that pretty soon, everybody's gonna know

And her voice is sore from shoutin'

Cheerin' winners who are losin'

and she wonders if their days are few

and soon they'll have to go

My, my, my, I'm so happy, I'm gonna join the band

We're gonna dance and sing in celebration

We're in the promised land

She hears them talk of new ways to protect the home she lives in

then she wonders what it's all about

when they break down the door

Her name is Brown or White or Black, you know her very well

You hear her cries of "mercy" as the winners toll the bell

My, my, my, I'm so happy, I'm gonna join the band, yeah

We're gonna sing and dance in celebration

A-we're in the promised land

Oh, there is a train that leaves the station

headed for your destination

but the price you pay to nowhere has increased a dollar more

Yes, it has

And if you walk you're gonna get there

although it takes just a little longer

and when you see 'em in the distance

you will wring your hands and moan

Oh, yeah, you'll moan

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you will moan

You're gone, you're gone, you're gone, yeah

You're gone, yeah

My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my

You are gone, you are gone, my, my, yeah

If you walk, you're gonna get there

although it takes a little longer

and when you see them in the distance

you will wring your hands and moan
