Celebration

Jainey packed up her bags in the darkness Crept down the stairs then she slipped through the door She left a note on the kitchen table "I'm sorry daddy, I can't stay here no more
Because I don't know about this situation I'll never live up to your expectations I want to see all I can see of this world, I want to join up in the celebration"
Jeffrey-Lee sits up straight in his wheelchair Ever since the war he just can't stop a-drinkin' "People see me stare and they say that I'm crazy They don't understand that I'm just a-thinkin'
Cause I don't know about this situation I'm sick and tired of this degradation I want to stand up and walk through this world I want to join up in the celebration"
Cheryl cried as she loaded the pistol Her baby died and her man he had gone She held the cold steel right up to her temple The pain was too much she couldn't go on
Just then the phone rang and shattered the silence A voice cried out to her "I've made some mistakes Come with me we'll start a new life together I've got to have your love—no matter what it takes
Cause I don't know about this situation Your love to me is such a revelation I want to take your hand and walk through this world Let's join up in the celebration"
