The Train (Roger Watras)

He sits at the train station, ready to run away
When that train comes along he'll hope for the best
He doesn't know what's ahead of him now
But he'll just step on the train and let God do the rest

As he waits he gets to thinkin' about the past
He thinks about what she did to his bruised heart
Like a demon on a good christian man
Let out her claws and tore his entire soul apart

Now he's gonna run away
Searchin' for a his soul to save
Knowin' there must be a way
Waitin' for a better day

Thinks about his preacher friend from way back home
Said that Jesus would always be with him
With such a friend like Him on his side
He figured the outlook couldn't be that grim

So now he's ready to run, ready to hide
From the ghosts that haunt his memory tonight
The train arrives and he gets onboard
He just no longer has the strenght for this fight

Now he's gonna run away
Searchin' for his soul to save
Knowin' there must be a way
Waitin' for a better day

He falls asleep and he starts to have a dream
He's runnin' away but gettin' nowhere fast
And in his mind the darkness begins to creep
And he figures out that the pain will still last

But from the darkness comes a bright new light
And a face he is sure he has seen before
Why are you leaving your life behind
When I have given you so much to live for

Why you gonna run away
Searchin' for your soul to save
Thinkin' there must be a better way
Hopin' for a better day

Go back now and return home where you belong
You're not yet ready to leave this life behind
I have yet to call you up above
So go back home and live, and you just might find

Your soul may be hurting, but not yet broken
You will see that there is so much to enjoy
I gave you these gifts from in my heart
These are all gifths I won't let you destroy

Why you gonna run away
Hopin' for your soul to save
Cause there surely is a better way
Surely is a better day

He awakes and he finds the train has broke down
So he jumps off board and he heads home again
He lives his life completly anew
And he never looks back, not now, not then

Now he'll never run away
Cause the Lord his soul did save
And now he's found such a better way
To make each day a better day
