Her face is cracked from smiling, all the fears that she's been hiding, it seems pretty soon everybody's gonna know. And voice is sore from shouting, cheering winners who are losing, And she worries if their days are few and they'll have to go.
[Chorus] My, my, my, I'm so happy, I'm gonna join the band, We are gonna dance and sing in celebration, We are the promised land.
She hears them talk of new ways protect the home she lives in, Then she wonders what it's all about when they break down the door.
Her name is Brown White or Black, you know her very well, You hear her cries of mercy the winners toll the bell.
[Chorus] There is a train that leaves the station heading your destination, But the price you pay to nowhere has increased a dollar Yes, it has! And if you walk you're gonna get there though it takes a little longer, And when you see it the distance you will wring your hands and moan.
