===================================================================== Celebration Day (from TSRTS) - Lyrics ===================================================================== CELEBRATION DAY (from TSRTS) Her face is cracked from smilin' All the tears that she's been hidin' And she wonders 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 An' soon they'll have to go My, my, my, I'm so happy I'm gonna join the band We're gonna sing an' dance in celebration A-we're in the promised land She hears them talk of new ways To protect the home she lives in 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 Ya hear her cries of mercy As the winners toll the bell My, my, I'm so happy I'm gonna join the band An' we're gonna dance an' sing in celebration A-we're in the promised land (Guitar Solo) There's a train that leaves the station Headin' for your destination But the price ya pay to nowhere Has increased a dollar more And if ya walk you're gonna get there Although it takes a little longer An' when ya see it in the distance You will wring your hands an' moan Ohh yeah a-you will moan A-you will moan A-you'll kneel an' moan Ohhh yeah, it's alright Good evenin'
