Intro
Verse One

I've been sleeping in our mother's arms, with her warm leaves, falling down

I've been thinking, how this could be, all that there really is.

I've been captured, by the want of things, but it just won't make me smile... no more

I've eating the fruits of my labors, for far too long

I been drinking, and now I don't think I can stop

I've had blues for a while, but they're the best they've ever been

What do I do? What do I do? If this is all there is...

Cause I've been holding on, to a life, that'll end too soon

Chorus One

This train is bound for glory, this train

This train is bound for glory, this train

This train! IS bound for glory!

This train! Can I change my life story?

This train …….is bound for glory

This train …………….. this train

Verse Two

I've………..waited so long

To try…………to get a chance.

Everything's important……

When you can't make the ends….

Chorus Two

I'm a coming up--------

Cause I've waited too long for this to go wrong

Here's to hoping that I'll sprout my wing, for my legs fall off

And I've been hungry….

I've also drank from the golden cup,

And I've passed it off to broken queen who

Dances on my dreams….

Outro

Ohhh I'm coming up….

I'm ready to move towards the light

I'm ready to try my hand at chance

To claim my undivided right

I've got both eyes wide open!

For….one…in a life…..time…..
