4. Train Station

There's a train station inside of this train
Where the people go to try and escape
And with anxious eyes, we stand in line
Til' the cold ground shakes
To tell us it's time for the trains
Yes it's time for the trains to stop

Some were steel and some were gold
And each conductor raved
They shouted buy your tickets, save your souls
But one conductor sang

He shouted you, come follow me
I'll buy your tickets and I'll pay your fees
Cuz I know what you cost
Believe me without this train you will be lost

So the rich men laughed and they walked away
But the poor ones felt that they should stay
So they told all of their friends
They told even strangers, til there ten thousands
Of people said come let us see
This scandalous train that claims to be free
Just let him speak

So he drew a picture on the ground
The stone moved just like sand
He said throw your tickets on the floor
I'll give you mine instead

And he shouted you, come follow me
I'll buy your tickets and I'll pay your fees
Cuz I know what you cost
Believe me without this train you will be lost

The soldiers rushed in like a flood
Wild eyed looking for blood
They said show us the one who lies, deceives
And claims his trains of grace are free

Cuz we'll take his body to the tracks
And nail him there so he never comes back
Yeah, we'll take his body to the tracks
And nail him there so he never comes back

And then the ground began to shake
We felt the stone beneath us break
And he came back, he came back anyway
And there was love, And there was love

And he shouted you, come follow me
I'll buy your tickets and I'll pay your fees
Cuz I know what you cost
Believe me without this train you will be lost
