Life is like a runaway train
Never knowing where it may lead
The curves in the track can't slow us down
For there's no way to adjust the speed
The twists and turns are enlightening
And some make a wonderful surprise
While others are sorrow and heartache
Just broken promises and lies
Though we've never seen the conductor
Our tickets have already been taken
We take our seats and close our eyes
But we never get used to the shakin'
Though we have no sure destination
We marvel at every turn
The scenery we see, is pure destiny
As we ponder the things that we learn
This runaway train that we call life
Rides on the tracks of time
And just when we think it will last forever
We reach the end of the line
