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
