Train

I am coming, move away I run majestically Slow to start, I speed along where the tracks take me Some lead me Some hop on me Some follow me Some watch me along by the sidelines I am cheered by some Some throw stones at me I change tracks as I like I can fall in danger I do not fear Sometimes I reverse Then move ahead My time is over it seems I finally stop Oh! thought I was the train I was only a driver Its time to pave the way for another to take over.
