Life Train

ALLLLL aboard this life bound train The conductor has punched your ticket Price paid in full Down the rails you have lain Flying down the tracks Destination at the end of the line Faster and faster as time flies by There is no going back Smoke and sparks on the silvery rail No slowing or stopping On this line called life Towards the sunset we sail Living life along the way Some will get on As this locomotive churns by Others depart on their final day Pulling into the station at the end of the line Family and friends there to meet us With arms wide open At the stop called Heaven for all time
