Celebration Day (Live)

Her face is cracked from smiling

All the fears that she's been hiding

And it seems that pretty soon

Everybody's gonna know

And her voice is sore from shouting

Cheering winners who are losing

And she worries if their days are few

And soon they'll have to go

Yeah

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

As they break down the door

Her name is Brown or Black or White

You know her very well

You hear her cries of mercy

As the winners toll the bell

Yeah, yeah

My, my, my, I'm so happy

I'm gonna join the band

We're gonna sing and dance in celebration

We're in the promised land

There is a train that leaves the station

Heading 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

Though it takes a little longer

You see it in the distance

You'll wring your hands and moan

Moan
