The Train Ride (part 2) The shaking of the track The roaring in the wind For the tickets getting punched And its time to go again For a smile from a child On his first ride ever As the conductor yells "all aboard!!!" And the engine man pulls the lever The sound of the horn And the people on board As the train starts to move and it lets out a roar Looking at the view As the train rolls by Surrounded by lands beauty On both windows sides Pasture after pasture Farm after farm Looking at the people And every helping arm It's a kind of beauty to watch all these things For it makes you want to cry To see the smiles it brings Tears of joy and happiness To see the child's face It's a kind of memory That wont ever erase Through the tunnels and hillsides With deafening speed As the train whistle roars and time recedes For their almost home A mile away As night starts to fall And the sun fades away But yet a sigh of relief As the train starts to slow As the brakes start to squeal For the children do know The train ride is over and all of its joy But they won't soon forget The happiness and joy They'll share with their children and family to come All the sights and views and all of the fun
