Take That Train

It's good to see you eat so well Was she talking to me? Well I couldn't really tell She smiled at me and I could see a story taking shape behind her eyes As the train pulled out she explained to me 'Bout an unwanted girl and a pregnancy But at 17 I couldn't be the mother that I'm trying to be now A tragedy it came to me and offered opportunity To take that train and face the things I know Though it wasn't my heart to let her go And now it's time for me to show And I don't know why I'm telling you all of this... But I gotta take that train Can't be afraid of that train I'm gonna take that train It's good of you to listen so well Though a stranger to me, I feel I can tell... You that the man who she was intrusted to Took his life, that's why I'm sitting next to you Now my girl, she needs some help The trouble shes in, and she can't get out Without a knowing hand who understands Because I've walked the road she's on The tragedy it came to me, a thankful opportunity to take that train and put the wrong things right It's my chance to prove that if we choose it isn't always win or loose And I don't know why I'm telling you all of this But I gotta take that train cant be afraid of that trainI'm gonna take that train As the train pulled in and she grabbed her things, all the memories and the painful things and she stood to leave then she looked at me She looked at me The tragedy she shared with me is now my opportunity To take a view and make the wrong things right I wish I had the words to say to encourage her but she walked away I'm so glad she told me all of this So glad I took that train I learned so much on train And I'll never be the same Not since I took that train
