Allison Moorer - Orphan Train lyrics

rate me

Come all you broken hearted come

And lay your burden down

Come kings and queens, come royalty

Surrender up your crown

Come empty handed, come with nothing

Of your own to claim

Come naked, poor, come like a child

To ride the orphan train

Come ride, ride on the orphan train

Put your ear to the track, you can hear your name

Come ride, ride on the orphan train

It'll take you all the way home

The way is narrow, it is steep

That brings you to the door

But love awaits there to embrace

Your heart forevermore

Come ride, ride on the orphan train

Put your ear to the track, you can hear your name

Come ride, ride on the orphan train

It'll take you all the way home

Come you abandoned, you forsaken

Friendless and alone

Come refugees left homesick for

Some place you've never known

Here princes, paupers, criminals

And saints are all the same

No more or less than God's beloved

Child aboard this train

Come ride, ride on the orphan train

Put your ear to the track, you can hear your name

Come ride, ride on the orphan train

It'll take you all the way home

Come ride, ride on the orphan train

I put my ear to the track and I heard my name

Come ride, ride on the orphan train

It'll take us all the way home
