This Train

This train is rolling down these tracks
 And it's got me hostage sitting all alone
 I cannot turn around now
 For I am almost home
 Home to the tears and the fears
 Home to my family kept
 Back to where it all began
 And to why I left
 Every now and then
 I go home to get to know my crime
 To see how things have changed
 And what I've left behind
 I only go there now
 To remember my dreams
 Half and half, sun and moon
 Hey, nothing is as it seems
 I won't take a given path
 I let my heart roam free
 We can only trace our lives
 Searching for clarity
 Signals from the heavens above
 Signals from the dark below
 All arranging systems now
 Creating circles as we go
 Circles like these train wheels rolling
 Circles like the eyes in my head
 Circles like death to rebirth
 And the somersaults in my bed
 Don't have a true love now
 It's been too many years
 Why am I going home
 I'm going back to all those fears
 I set high standards
 I keep my heart locked in a cage
 But I am very careful now
 Because oppression equals rage
 Why can't love be sweet
 Like some Debussy song
 Cause when the going gets too rough
 Love is all I long
 I long for world peace now
 And I long for love that's true
 I long to be an eagle flying
 I even long for you
 That's why I'm on this train
 I'm traveling my journey's course
 Back trackin to my youth
 Back trackin on to the source
 Time will tend this passion play
 And you will see my better part
 History is important
 To the journey of the heart
 Now this train, it slows down
 I can see my fathers car
 Conductor puts me on my feet
 And he hands me my guitar
 Survival of the fittest I guess
 Survival of this life we lead
 We are all travelers here
 On this train for eternity
