“Ride The Family Train”

I do not know what else may come,

But family has to hide the fear of fate

Tomorrow may not be the way you want

Tragedy may ride the rushing train

But family must hide the fears they face

For no one knows how long their ride will last

So learn your lessons well

Learn from the past

So family grows strong enough to face

The final stop

Love and hope will ride along with you

Yes, family will ride the train of faith

So whatever else may come

There’ll be someone there to help the pain

And lessons learned along the way

Will guide you through the falling rain

Together we will walk into the sun

And help each other along the way

Until the final stop

When God will look into your face

And say “What a ride you had, and

I’m so very glad

You brought your family with you,

So come on in inside

There’s some family here

I would like you to meet”
