Train, It Wasnt

“Train” What do I do when the train is coming? I was standing on the track My life flashed before me As I thought, did I live like that? Did I live my life in bondage? Too afraid to share my dreams Could have soared just like an eagle But never used my wings. Here I stand my legs are trembling As warm tears drenched my face The presence of death was visible And fear invaded my space I stood starring at that train So sure that I would die No hero there to save me No time to say goodbye Then Calmness fell upon me A voice whispered in my ear That’s not a train that’s coming There is nothing for you to fear I heard you screaming out my name And so I took the evening train If I had come right away You’d thought your strength had saved the day I waited til there was nothing else to do But cry for me to rescue you So I lifted your head and I dried your eyes Gave you wings as eagles My child you can fly Your burdens are lifted You have inner peace What was lost, I gave Increase Chains are now broken Dreams can come true Released from your struggles Your life is brand new Your story re-written I say how it ends Remember, I am your God Now your life can begin.
