The Train of Life

Looking out the back window of a train, it all goes by so fast
You don't enjoy the ride and the excitement doesn't last
Some sit with their head in their hands and remember wasted days
They think about what could have been different, in so may ways

For the can't change what has been done, they just keep moving on
And look at where they're going and not at what's already gone
Your life is like a train ride, both exciting and worth while
But the ride doesn't last so take the time to smile

So sit up in the engine so you don't miss a thing
Feel the wind on your face and the excitement that it brings
See many of life's treasures as you're moving about
The world that you long to see, just go with it, have no doubts

You want to see what's in the future and stop looking at the past
Life's too short for "should have been's", life moves way too fast
So if the ride is bumpy, you have to stay on track
Stay up front and enjoy the ride, don't go to the back

The enjoyment of life is where you've been, but also where you're going
Everything you've already done and the mystery of the unknowing
So never second guess yourself, never hold back and never complain
Just live life to the fullest, get on and ride the train
