Lyrics

Celebration in the wind
Open the doors and let the show begin
Come like lightning, come like rain
Come on the double with your ball and chain
Come with your trouble, your sweat and strain
Check 'em all at the door with your grief and pain
Celebration like days of old
When everything was solid gold
Silver, diamonds, pearls and wine
Blood and roses both yours and mine
Sunlight shining on the midnight line
That opens and closes like a holy shrine
Let a fresh wind tear through your soul
Swallow your sorrow and deliver you whole
Give you reason to believe again
Finish that prayer before you say amen
Celebration, one on one
Hold your judgment till it's done
Until the last wheel is spun and still
The final sunbeam sets on the hill
Curtain not only falling but burned
The very last lesson studied and learned
Let a fresh wind tear through your soul
Swallow your sorrow and deliver you whole
Give you reason to believe again
Finish that prayer before you say amen
You say there's nothing left to celebrate
Just stolen elections, corruption and hate
Come on, come on, let the good times roll
It means more now than you'll ever know
Begin again, don't you ever give up
Trying to fit the ocean in a six-ounce cup
Begin again as though the world were new
Speak it like a beast howling in the wild
Speak it from the heart like an innocent child
Speak it from the mountain, speak it from the plain
Speak it like the whistle on a northbound train
Speak it from the podium, speak it from the stage
Speak it from the prison in tones of rage
Speak it in the tongues of gods and men
And say it, say it, say it, say it, say it again
Speak it from the pits or from heaven above
In celebration, baby, speak it with love
Let a fresh wind tear through your soul
Swallow your sorrow and deliver you whole
Give you reason to believe again
Finish that prayer before you say amen
Like a breath of summer in a winter land
Blowing rhythms so simple hearts can easily understand
