Lyrics

Precious Cargo (or "This Train"), Take 7
© 2012 Sahlen-Starburst

There's a powerful momentum, there's a mighty rocking thrust
Propelling progress forward, discontentment turned to dust
Folks of varied colors holding tickets jump on board
With a stop in every township, every interest is assured

(chorus)
This train runs for freedom with its future burning bright
Engine pistons firing on a mission for what's right
Its whistle screaming passion, an opus note for note
Transporting precious cargo...this train runs on hope

Outcasts and downtrodden, none are left behind
Those awash in poverty, who says they're "not our kind"
There's givers and there's takers but there's one thing we all know
The planet's getting smaller now, we're part of one big show

(repeat chorus)

NO ONE ON BOARD'S A STRANGER, THEY'RE ALL LIKE YOU AND ME

(bridge)
This train welcomes strangers who look just like you and me
It's the dawn of re-creation its true wisdom we can see

(repeat chorus)
