Celebration Day - Jimmy Page, The Black Crowes

Her face is cracked from smiling,

All the fears that shes been hiding,

And it seems pretty soon evrybodys gonna know.

And her voice is sore from shouting,

Cheering winners who are losing,

And she worries if their days are few

And soon theyll have to go.

Im gonna join the band,

We are gonna dance and sing and celebration,

We are in the promised land.

She hears them talk of new ways

To protect the home she lives in,

Then she wonders what its 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.

There is a train that leaves the station

Heading for your destination,

But the price you pay has increased a dollar more.

Yes, it has!

And if you walk youre gonna get there

Tho it takes a little longer,

And when you see it in the distance

You will wring your hands and moan.
