Riding...

Come on and ride the train

step on board, take your ticket

no two are the same

you'll soon be going for a ride

there's nowhere to run no place to hide

you're riding riding riding on the train-

But you try to check your ticket

and you don't know what it means

will you get to sit on velvet

and dine on fine cuisine?

Or is your place to be up on

a worn out wooden seat

with a slice of old and crusty bread

your only food to eat_

Come on and ride the train

the doors are closing, the whistle's blowing

now you must remain

the locomotive's on a roll

just some things you can't control

you're riding riding riding on the train-

So you ask an older passenger

how long will this ride be?

he says "sorry son I can't say

there is no guarantee

it might be the next station,

we'll be there in no time

but maybe if you're lucky

you can stay till the end of the line"

music

Then you take a walk up through the train

each boxcar one by one

most are filled by people saying

this ride's just for fun

why think about tomorrow

when you've got today instead

sit back enjoy the view

there's miles and miles of rail ahead

Ride the train.....come on everybody ride the train

ride the train.......come on everybody, ride the train

But one car seems so different

inhabited by few

who say there is no time to waste

we're only passing through

the choices that you make today

are all that's gonna last

this train is moving down the track

and it's moving awful fast

Come on and ride the train

step on board take your ticket

no two are the same

you'll soon be going for a ride

there's nowhere to run

no place to hide

you're riding riding riding on the train.......
