The Same Train

Walking fast with our eyes down on the sidewalk
We run up the stairs then we just stand around
Come together, standing very close to strangers
Someone’s talking on the phone but we don’t listen.

(come on, come on, come on) The doors are closing
(come on, come on, come on) All aboard now
(come on, come on, come on) There’s always room for five more
We all ride the same train at the same time on the same day
We call it the red line
Will we get home before bed time?

I will try not to look you in the eye
But I might stare at your reflection in the window
Will you marry me? I don’t know your name
This is my stop. We don’t speak, and it’s over.

(come on, come on, come on) The doors are closing
(come on, come on, come on) All aboard now
(come on, come on, come on) There’s always room for five more
We all ride the same train at the same time on the same day
We call it the Blue line
And your blue eyes look into mine

Standing close, we are all here by ourselves
Private symphonies and novels we don’t share
Every color, we are precious in God’s sight
I see Jesus in the eyes of a little girl

(come on, come on, come on) The doors are closing
(come on, come on, come on) All aboard now
(come on, come on, come on) There’s always room for five more
We all ride the same train at the same time on the same day
We call it the green line
I’ve seen your house have you seen mine?

We all ride the same train at the same time on the same day
We call it the pink line
Come see my place in the springtime

We all ride the same train at the same time on the same day…
