Ride the train by Ahmie Sage

[Verse 1] Met a man upon a train, He tipped his hat — so welcoming. Intrigued, I had to ask, “What makes you smile like that?” His gaze pulled me near, He whispered soft and clear, “The answer is here.” His hand upon his heart: “The secret to life is playing your part.” [Chorus] It’s when you start truly living, It’s life that holds your breath. Love the bits you’re given, Don’t live with old regrets. Smile at the strangers, Dance in the rain. Live with the wonder, Ride every train. [Verse 2] He sang of mountains, Valleys, and seas — How he danced with souls And gathered dreams. From city skies to forest trees, He smiled wide, his joy at ease. He tried each food from every land, And sang each hymn with open hands. He chanted with the monks, Danced in Shiva’s flame. [Chorus] It’s when you start truly living, It’s life that holds your breath. Love the bits you’re given, Don’t live with old regrets. Smile at the strangers, Dance in the rain. Live with the wonder, Ride every train. [Bridge] “I’ve been everywhere,” he said, “I’ve seen it all — the high, the hollow. The world has pain, The world has sorrow, But a little light, love, and care Can bring a brighter tomorrow.” He danced down the subway car, A hat tip, and a grin — then I'm left, with breath again. [Chorus] It’s when you start truly living, It’s life that holds your breath. Love the bits you’re given, Don’t live with old regrets. Smile at the strangers, Dance in the rain. Live with the wonder, Ride every train.
