Train of Thought
I sit in the back of a traveling train
The exit to the left guides me to the thoughts in my brain
So hop on board to take a ride
On the train of thought with me to see what's inside
You might not be prepared for what you see
One image starts a thousand mile journey
Of all the years that pass me by
A thousand miles to go until I die
This train offers not a sunset view
Nor a peek of the world layed out before you
The only thing offered like I said
Are thoughts like à hurricane swirling around in my head
For me it's out of sight out of mind
But on this train I'm surprised by what I find
That being said this train isn't to guide
It's to show you memories I store inside
A penny for your thoughts because your thoughts I want to know
As I continue my life, this train will continue to go
I really want to see all that this life has in store for me
Because there's plenty to miss on a thousand mile journey
Someday the pennies for thoughts shall be no more to spend
And this train ride of mine will come to an end
Enjoyed the ride now I'm ready to go
Laying my head on the ground as I rest my soul.
