Waiting for the Train

 

 

Have you ever

Stood on a platform

Looking down the tracks

Waiting for the train

 

You look at your watch

Just to check the time

Then back to your left

To see if there’s a light in the distance

 

To your left is what has been

To the right where you’re going

And where you are standing

Well that’s just waiting

 

And the waiting is the hardest part

Because as much as you think you know

You really don’t control the ride

You’re just a passenger

 

You’ve ridden the train before

You’ve been tossed off for bad behavior

And jumped off

Which wasn’t too bright

 

So you wait on the platform

Looking at your watch

Then to your feet

And then back to the left

Of things that have been

 

Expecting the arrival

Of the 11:18 on track number one

The train to the future

All Aboard
