All Aboard
All aboard the sky-bound train riding rails and beams
Buy a ticket for the wishful ride and capture all your dreams
If your chance does come, catch the train of youth
Make sure you ride a window seat, not the end caboose
The time of our childhood passing, no way of going back
Comfort in the feeling your dreams remain on track
As you look out the window, that's when you start to think
Of how fast time passes, barely time to blink
Your train is loading, with family members and very close friends
They've decided to ride with you to the very end
It's a very long train that curves around the bend
All aboard the train of life, all tickets to the end
It's a twenty-four-hour ride that consumes every day
Every car a year of life you've passed along the way
As you move from car to car, some people will regret
The loss of loving friends; others you may forget
This train runs on your memories of times that passed you by
You can't change your destination regardless of what you try
The conductor is a friendly soul with nothing much to say
Collecting tickets from lost souls all along the way
Climb aboard, my dear friends, and take your pleasure ride
We'll find out together what's on the other side
Clouds have formed, and the sky becomes a very peaceful scene
Grab yourself a window seat and ride the train of dreams.
