There's another train -- there always is
THERE'S ANOTHER TRAIN
The beginning is now and will always be.
You say you've lost your chance
That fate brought you defeat,
But that means nothing. You look so sad,
You've been listening to those who say you've missed your chance.
There's another train -- there always is,
Maybe the next one is yours,
Get up and climb aboard another train.
You feel you're done and there's no such thing,
Although you're standing on your own
Your own breath is king.
The beginning is now, don't turn around,
Regrets of bad mistakes will only drain you.
There's another train -- there always is,
Maybe the next one is yours,
Get up and climb aboard another train.
We crawl in the dark sometimes and think too much,
Then we fill our heads with crazy things
That only break our hearts.
And I know you've seen what the world can do,
When it's dragging down another load of worrisome fools
There's another train -- there always is,
Maybe the next one is yours,
Get up and climb aboard another train.
I know it's hard when you feel cheated,
You can crown yourself with fear
And you feel you cannot move,
You're building worlds that don't exist
Imagination plays the worst tricks.
There's another train -- there always is,
Maybe the next one is yours,
Get up and climb aboard another train.
There's another train -- there always is,
Maybe the next one is yours,
Get up and climb aboard another train.
There's another train -- there always is,
Maybe the next one is yours,
Get up and climb aboard another train.
There's another train -- there always is,
Maybe the next one is yours,
Get up and climb aboard another train.
I have this on a CD by Olympia's Daughters, a women's a cappella choir (modeled on Sweet Honey in the Rock). They came to my Unitarian Universalist church last year, doing a concert on Saturday night and a program the next morning for the service. I loved their music, and bought two of their CDs. "There's Another Train" is on Big Ovaries, and they do it beautifully.
