Last Train

We dance along
the path
    the seasons 
are like leaves
    in the wind
Time moves so rapidly
So let's board 
the train
    before we lose
this chance for
   freedom
     The station master
has told us
    that we must be 
      on 
      time
or we'll 
lose our seats
   this railroad 
train is 
     "bound for glory"
so hurry  - don't delay
    the last train 
is leaving the station
     and we're on board(thank God)
we're on board!
The ride which 
will change our lives
    is just beginning
    So savor the 
moment friends
   It is the journey 
which matters - not the destination

Very descriptive and nicely done. We used to sing this song at our church- this train is a clean train, this train. Sounds like a great journey.
