about

This is a bit of a poetic philosophical discourse on accepting life as it is and understanding connectedness within common experiences. Plus kids like songs about Trains!

lyrics

THE TRAIN KNOWS WHERE TO GO

OK so we’re all on this train
and we are all alone
The Train Knows where to Go
The Train Knows where to go

OK, so we’re all on this train
and we are safe and warm
The Train Knows where to Go
The Train Knows where to go

OK, so we’re all watching scenes
change as time goes by
The Train Knows where to Go
The Train Knows where to go

We collect our souvenirs
Good memories & Pain
The Train Knows where to Go
The Train Knows where to go

The Direction of the tracks
are following the rails
They hold us on this path
mechanical and steel

OK, so we are looking out
We just soak it in
The Train Knows where to Go
The Train Knows where to go

We are ghosts on trains
traveling in skins
The Train Knows where to Go
The Train Knows where to go

Somehow what we feel doesn’t match the iron & Steel
We’re sensing what we lack from the click clack of the track

The heat from all these hearts beating in the dark
The truth of who we are carries us this far

The Direction of the tracks
are following the rails
They hold us on this path
mechanical and steel
