Runaway Train
No matter how hard we try we can never catch that Runaway Train
We must stare at the problems that face us in daily life and live with them
Because if we don’t live with them, how will we learn from them?
The mistakes that life brings are meant for us to learn and make again
We can’t just hop onto the Runaway Train that takes us to a place far away
Where all of our problems just seem to fade
“Runaway Train never going back, Wrong way on a one way track…”
These are lyrics by Soul Asylum
This is what I am reminded of when I hear the words “Runaway Train”
