There comes the train From beyond the blue hills Comes the train Huff and puff over rails Here comes the train Burning coals of the ages And also the words Of their sages Look! It's the train It comes huffing and puffing and coughing And calling Hey man! See, it's the train You just leave back your luggage You need but your courage Amen Who's gonna cry? Who's gonna stay? Who's gonna laugh? Going my way For the magic train's a-comin' Look, it's drawin' into the station All the livin' are within
The chosen ones in this Nation Look, look the sky It is not the one sky That you knew Can't you fathom the why? Look, see the sky See the clouds that are blowing A-glowing Cant' you hear the sign? Listen! Here's the sign As it grows into trumpets Beasts and strumpets! Come, try! God in the sky Steering clouds off the atoms Of dangers and atom Oh my! Look at the evil Kissing good and both bowing And sewing Their way for the train Train Amen . . .
