Unfortunately I didn't really understand what the song was about (((

It’s a spiritual song. I imagine it’s about heaven?

hope said:

I thought there was a hint that it was about a place that doesn't exist. ??? It's confusing the phrase about lying at the races.....

Agonum said:

Maybe it has to do with you know how people (with smiling faces) say that everyone is equal, when in reality that’s not how it is? Something like that.

'lying to the races' / races = black people, white people

Will the lying ever stop? Will we ever get to a better place?

When the song came out in 1972 the civil rights movement wasn't finished. Martin Luther King Jr and Bobby Kennedy had just been assassinated only a few years earlier. It's really a gospel song but with an overlay of political thoughts/memories/ideas/pleas.
I'm always enraptured by Mavis' vocals and the backing harmonies.
