All Aboard Life's Train

We get on, we get off, we're the conductor who's brave

We must make the ride successful from cradle to grave

Some tracks are nice, others are tough

Some are heated or ice, smooth or rough

Some journeys are short, others are long

But like each single car, each has its own song

Clickty Clack Trickty Track

I'm Riding on the RR Track

Watch the curves, the fills, the tunnels, never falter, never fail

Keep your hand upon the throttle and your eye upon the rail

Each stop, each depot, each destination

Brings new goods , new learning, new people, inspiration

The different lessons in each passing land

give different vibrations to each single hand

Clickty Clack Trickty Track

I'm Riding on the RR Track

The unity of so many elements keeps us moving on the rails

Earth, Fire, Air, and Water roll up grades of trails

We will cross the bridge of strife

On this lightening ride of life

We will often find obstruction in a fill, or curve , or trestle

then we're back on track in our hearts were we nestle

Clickty Clack Trickty Track

I'm Riding on the RR Track

Each different environment you can tell by the sound

In some the wind rustles our lives all around

Compasionate compartments fire our hopes and our dreams

Cleanses fear from time passing, the faster she steams

We take hold of the throttle, taking oursleves fast or slow

Our thoughts, inspirations, choices, we go

Clickty Clack Trickty Track

I'm Riding on the RR Track

As we roll across the trestle, spanning life's swelling tides

We behold the Train Depot into which our train glides

Disembarkings left to each passenger as we take our last breath

After riding the train from Birth until Death
