[00:16.62]Her face is cracked from smiling
[00:18.30]All the fears that she's been hiding
[00:20.25]And it seems that pretty soon
[00:22.31]Everybody's gonna know
[00:31.27]And her voice is sore from shouting
[00:33.01]Cheering winners who are losing
[00:35.06]And she worries if their days are few
[00:37.58]And soon they'll have to go
[00:47.39]My, my, my, I'm so happy
[00:50.77]I'm gonna join the band
[00:54.60]We are gonna dance and sing in celebration
[00:58.73]We are in the promised land
[01:02.01]She hears them talk of new ways
[01:04.81]To protect the home she lives in
[01:06.18]Then she wonders what it's all about
[01:08.50]When they break down the door
[01:16.65]Her name is Brown or White or Black
[01:18.35]You know her very well
[01:20.05]You hear her cries of mercy
[01:22.55]As the winners toll the bell
[01:31.68]My, my, my, I'm so happy
[01:35.32]I'm gonna join the band
[01:40.62]We are gonna dance and sing in celebration
[01:44.13]We are in the promised land
[02:02.28]There is a train that leaves the station
[02:04.03]Heading for your destination
[02:06.00]But the price you pay to nowhere
[02:08.12]Has increased a dollar more
[02:11.23]Yes, it has
[02:16.78]And if you walk you're gonna get there
[02:18.47]Though it takes a little longer
[02:20.45]And when you see it in the distance
[02:22.69]You will wring your hands and moan
[02:27.53]🎵
