I saw the train of change come one night
It was hauling truth, it was hauling light
Racing down the tracks, a most welcome sight
I saw the train of change one night
I saw hope riding on that train
I saw the corrupt commence to fall, the decent begin to rise
I saw life return to long dead eyes
I saw hope riding on that train
I saw peace riding on that train
People rising up saying no more war
A serenity never seen before
I saw peace riding on that train
I saw love riding on that train
People of different colors, from different neighborhoods
Riding together towards a common good
I saw goodness riding on that train
I saw the train of change come one night
It was hauling truth, it was hauling light
Racing down the tracks, a most welcome sight
I saw the train of change one night
