I've wept for those who suffer long
But how I weep for those who've gone
Into realms of grief and questioned wrong
But keep on killing
It's in the soul to feel such things
But weak to watch without speaking
Oh, what mercy sadness brings
If God be willing
There is a train
That's here to take us
Headed straight
To heaven's gate
To heaven's gate
And on the way
Child and man
In woman's way
Watch and wait
For redemption day
For redemption day
Jesus in the streets
And swallows everything it means
It's just an image often seen
On television
Come, leaders, come, ye men of grace
Let us hear you pontificate
Your many virtues laid to waste
And we aren't listening
There is a train
That's heading straight
To heaven's gate
To heaven's gate
And on the way
Child and man
And woman wait
Watch and wait
For redemption day
What do you have for us today?
Throw us a bone but save the blade
On why you waited
Till the day
Till so late
Was there no oil to excavate
No riches in trade
For the fate of every person
Who died in hate
Throw us a bone
You men of greed
There is a train
That's heading straight
To heaven's gate
To heaven's gate
And on the way
Child and man
And woman wait
Watch and wait
For redemption day
It's buried in the countryside
It's hidden in the shells of night
It's everywhere baby Christ
Freedom
Freedom
Freedom
Freedom
Freedom
