The train now departing
From the platform life
Is the survivor special
To Beauty vis Strife
|
|
|
It was scheduled to leave
At an earlier date
So we'd like to apologise
For it's running late
|
|
|
|
This was entirely due
To a management fault
But now it's on its way,
This train will not halt
|
|
|
|
Until it reaches its
Final destination
Through Love, Pain and Healing
And Life Central Station
|
|
|
We know that it looks
In a terrible state
Rusty and creaky
A ramshackle crate
|
|
It was attacked by vandals
Much to our dismay
But don't fear for we'll
Make repairs on the way
|
|
And though we must warn
Of an uncomfortable ride
We think in the end
That you will have pride
|
|
|
In how we have handled
This terrible mess
And all your complaints
Will be addressed
|
|
|
|
We're afraid that the forecast
Is for storms, hail and fog
And the points up the track
With dirt have been clogged
|
|
|
|
But ignore the weather
For among the crew
Are clowns, dancers and jesters
To entertain you
|
|
|
And the line up ahead
Is being cleared
By the most competent of
Our engineers
|
|
If at the start
We seem to be slow
It's because the baggage we carry
Is more than you know
|
|
But the maintenance crew
Works as we proceed
And you will find shortly
That we'll pick up speed
|
|
|
Past Fears and Confusion
Slow down through Great Pain
But as we reach Hope
We gain momentum again
|
|
|
|
Through Doubt and Deep Feelings
Self-Hatred-Will Pass
On to Love, Joy and Healing
Abuse is long past
|
|
|
|
Steam through Memories and Crying
And Effects-Upon-Life
We gather fuel from Our Friends
To get us through Strife
|
|
|
And there on the track
Set to Derail us
Is another attack
But this train will not fail us
|
|
And as you notice the blockage
You inform the crew
You seem scared for our safety
Well the driver is too
|
|
For it's easy to forget
In times of great need
That we've proven before
That we can succeed
|
|
|
So we press on and pray
And the obstacle hits...
And still we're surprised
As it's smashed to bits
|
|
|
|
The Survivor Special
Rushes on undelayed
And like us you then ask
Why were you afraid
|
|
|
|
Yet we were affected
And the train's structure crumbles
A tiny bit of a buffer
Into a chasm tumbles
|
|
|
We notice the damage
A shocked moment ensues
The engineer's called
And he has good news
|
|
'Twas merely a part
We'd forgotten was weak
The repair can be made
And bring the strength we seek
|
|
Then through Laughter and Tears
And Humour we run
On to Know-in-our-Strengths
And Wisdom and Fun
|
|
|
But when we reach Lies
We hit a setback
For the signals were false
And we're on the wrong track
|
|
|
|
But the time that we notice
We've passed Years-on-Alone
And safe way to reach Peace
Are completely unknown
|
|
|
|
Well safety or not
We cannot give in
So we derail the train
In the hope we can win
|
|
|
We plunge on through the Wastelands
Our journey gets rougher
It's hard to get past Great Damage
But our train is tougher
|
|
Through Addiction Woodlands
And Minimize Mire
You scream out in Anguish
"The train is on fire!"
|
|
The fire gets hotter
Through Shocks-to-the-Heart
We can't take much more
We're falling apart!
|
|
|
Through the Lake of Emotion
Past Believe the Lies Town
We put out the fire
But we nearly drown
|
|
|
|
O'er Nightmare-filled Meadows
We charge through the night
Panic and Hatred take us
To Loneliness Height
|
|
|
|
But as we make repairs
We catch a sweet glimpse of Truth
And plunge into Remembering
Through the dark Vale of Youth
|
|
|
Soon we pass through Dread
To Anxiety Shore
But as we reach Safe Distance
We're on the right track once more
|
|
Onwards ever onwards
We rattle and roll
I see you're exhausted
As the ride takes its toll
|
|
So we'll carry on working
But leave you to rest
Sweet dreams good friend
You know you chose the best
|
|
|
For you've een the train ripped up
Battered and torn
And you've sen the crew feeling
Fearful and worn
|
|
|
|
But whatever we face
We can overcome
Without ever stopping
The train as it runs
|
|
|
As you sleep may I tell you
We're still close to Strife
But we're closer to Healing
For we've plunged into LIFE!
