Peace Train

There's a train leaving tomorrow,
bring your joy and leave your
sorrow. No first or second class,
peace and hope shall be your pass.
An engine fed on wonder, fueled
with splendour, on the tracks of an 
open agenda. Where the wings of 
war have been clipped, and cargoe's 
of ambience are gently shipped. 
Come board the peace train, let it 
take us back again. Bring your 
dreams, rainbows to, live the
warmth that's due to you. Sing
and dance at journey's end, let
peace be love and love thy friend.
Come board the peace train, take
the ride for the heart to gain. Hold
hands as feelings play, this train 
grasps hope in every way. The
ticket held is an open one, where
dreams are realised and built upon.
Kick off the shoes and don't be late,
it's a long, long journey, and the
train can't wait.
