Lyrics

Written by: jones/page/plant

Her face is cracked from smiling, all the fears that she's been hiding
And it seems 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

My, my, my, I'm so happy, I'm gonna join the band
We are gonna dance and sing in 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 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

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 though it takes a little longer
And when you see it in the distance you will wring your hands and moan
