Celebration Day

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 that are losing

Worries that their days are few

And soon they'll have to go-oh

Yeah!

My, my, my, I'm so happy

Gonna join the band

We're gonna sing and dance in celebration

We're in the promised land

She hears them talk of new ways

To protect the home she lives in

Then 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

Yeah yeah

My, my, my, I'm so happy

I'm gonna join the band

Gonna dance and sing in celebration

In the promised land

[Guitar solo]

There's a train that leaves the station

Heading for your destination

But the price you pay to nowhere

Has increased a dollar

Yes, it has

If you walk, you're gonna get there

Though it takes a little longer

See it in the distance

You will wring your hands and moan

Moan, moan

[Guitar solo]
