Paul Pena - New Train lyrics

rate me

I remember a time back in the big city near my home

To the clock toll in morning

Hear the sound of a gospel choir singing soft and low

On a rainy day the sun was dawning

But it's been a long, long time

Since I've heard the rhyme

Of a time and season hidden in the past

And the days are growing harder

And time is growing shorter

Brother hating brothers spreading fast

We got to get on the new train, and ride

We gotta find our way to freedom

Get on the new train, and ride

Buy our ticket for a brand new season

Trippin' down south, in the Easter time

See the folks come out from worship

Everyone talkin' 'bout the glories of the resurrection

All of them thinking that they're perfect

Well here comes a helpless man

Who's down and needs a hand

And the will of Christ is done by one from prison

So he gets a hand from one

He is condemned by some

But divine love we all have if it's he lays on them

He wants to get on the new train, and ride

Said he's gonna find this way to freedom

He wants to get on the new train, and ride

Buy this way to a brand new season

As I sit back looking on my history

See a house with children playing, and love strong

And Mama sittin' cross-leg tell me I must be my brother's keeper

I'll take my strength from Daddy's song

And you know I love what I see

'Cause it's taught a lot to me

Made me strong and help this boy understand (yes it has)

That the world is here for giving

And life is here for living

Let the choir sing and let me say it with the band

We've got to get on the new train, and ride

We gotta help us find a way to freedom

We got to get on the new train, and ride

Buy our ticket for a brand new season

We've got to get on the new train, and ride

Come on and help us find out way to freedom

We've got to get on the new train, and ride

Come on and help us find a way to a season

Alright

Take me way down home now

Sho' nuff I'm goin' (south?) now

Mmm mm mm...
