Train Of Life

[CAPTAINZING2000]

Train of Life<?XML:NAMESPACE PREFIX = O /><O:P></O:P>

<O:P></O:P>

Some folks ride the train of life<O:P></O:P>

Looking out the rear,<O:P></O:P>

Watching miles of life roll by,<O:P></O:P>

And marking every year.<O:P></O:P>

<O:P></O:P>

They sit in sad remembrance,<O:P></O:P>

Of wasted days gone by,<O:P></O:P>

And curse their life for what it was,<O:P></O:P>

And hang their head and cry.<O:P></O:P>

<O:P></O:P>

But I don't concern myself with that,<O:P></O:P>

I took a different vent,<O:P></O:P>

I look forward to what life holds,<O:P></O:P>

And not what has been spent.<O:P></O:P>

<O:P></O:P>

So strap me to the engine,<O:P></O:P>

As securely as I can be,<O:P></O:P>

I want to be out on the front,<O:P></O:P>

To see what I can see.<O:P></O:P>

<O:P></O:P>

I want to feel the winds of change,<O:P></O:P>

Blowing in my face,<O:P></O:P>

I want to see what life unfolds,<O:P></O:P>

As I move from place to place.<O:P></O:P>

<O:P></O:P>

I want to see what's coming up, <O:P></O:P>

Not looking at the past,<O:P></O:P>

Life's too short for yesterdays,<O:P></O:P>

It moves along too fast.<O:P></O:P>

<O:P></O:P>

So if the ride gets bumpy,<O:P></O:P>

While you are looking back,<O:P></O:P>

<O:P></O:P>

<O:P></O:P>

Go up front, and you may find,<O:P></O:P>

Your life has jumped the track.<O:P></O:P>

<O:P></O:P>

<O:P></O:P>

It's all right to remember,<O:P></O:P>

That's part of history,<O:P></O:P>

But up front's where it's happening,<FO color="black" NT><O:P></O:P></FONT>

There's so much mystery.<O:P></O:P>

<O:P></O:P>

The enjoyment of living,<O:P></O:P>

Is not where we have been,<O:P></O:P>

It's looking ever forward,<O:P></O:P>

To another year and ten.<O:P></O:P>

<O:P></O:P>

It's searching all the byways,<O:P></O:P>

Never should you refrain,<O:P></O:P>

For if you want to live your life,<O:P></O:P>

You gotta drive the train! <O:P></O:P>
