Don'T Get On That Train

Dark tunnel approaches, full speed ahead
This train is off course, we’ll all end up dead
We need to stop it, veer it from its course
It’s up to us; it’s always been our choice

The choices we make wear a conductor’s hat
We better make right ones and that is that
So pull on the brake line, get off these tracks
There’s always a chance to get our lives back

The sound of the engines, the puff of the steam
Can all go away; as always in our dreams
Turn away from the tunnel, filled with just night
Get back on the course that’s shown with bright light
