Celebration Day (Alternate Mix)

[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus]

My, my, my, I'm so happy

I'm gonna join the band

We' gonna dance and sing in celebration

We're in the promised land

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

My, my, my, I'm so happy

I'm gonna join the band, yeah

We' gonna sing and dance in celebration

We're in the promised land

[Guitar solo]

[Verse 3]

Ooh, 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

And though it takes a little longer

And when you see it in the distance

You will wring your hands and moan

Oh yeah, moan

Ooh, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah, moan moan

[Ad libs continue]
