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”
