With everything

We fight the fight

We fight the fight alone
We fight with children at our feet
We fight to win
And not merely to avoid defeat

We fight with everything
With our body mind and soul
We fight under any conditions
The rain the sleet the heat the cold

We fight for the big ideas
Our freedoms and liberties
We fight for the ethereal
For such things as destiny

And eternity

But mainly we fight for those
With us down in the mud
We fight shoulder to shoulder
Day after day

For the sacredness of our blood

This train is rollin

This train is rollin
Rollin on down the track
And where she's going
There's no coming back

This train is bound for glory
This train is bound for pain
This train has got her stories
And her list of names

Can't you here her comin
Comin on down the line
Can't you hear that track a hummin
Countin off the time

****
****

What is it you said today
What is it you got done
Why would anyone choose Darkness
Over the light of the Sun

It's as if it was never written
As if the words were never meant to be
What you do to the least among you
You most certainly do to me

****
****

This train is rollin
Rollin on down the track
And where she's goin
There's no comin back

You better be takin a look
Takin a look deep inside
You might want to reconsider
If your chosen guide is false pride

Can't you here her comin
Comin on down the line
Can't you hear that track a hummin
Countin off the time

What was done every day
What's been done over years
How much has one lost their way
To think there hasn't been enough tears

****
****

This train is rollin
Rollin on down the track
And where she's going
There's no coming back

This train is rollin baby
This train is a rollin on down the line

Thinkin about

Thinkin about knowin
or
Is it knowin about thinkin

Sometimes I know
I really need a friend
But also learning to be one
Might be a good place to begin


Sometimes I think
Battles won or lost
It definitely does all come
At a remarkable cost


Sometimes I think
I won't make a mistake
If I'm just real careful
I could get a lucky break

But then the truth comes round
And knocks on my door
And says you think you've seen trouble
Well I've got more

Yeah sometimes the only freedom
When everything's coming at you
Is you can't control it all
Only your response what you choose to do

****
****

I think we need steel back bones
That can sometimes bend
And it's not how many times
We get knocked down in the end

But it's if we get back up
That one more time again
