its such a funny feeling
as i walk into the streets
empty eyes on people's faces
makes me sad
when they look at me

i know they're only strangers
i might never see 'em again
but it's more than my desire
to tell them
they're riding away
on a hellbound train

heading for the wrong destination
all like sheep have gone astray
people passing through the station
with their luggage
full of shame

different names and different places
but the song remains the same
the heart of man through the ages
neeeds to be
forgiven and free

and i'm filled with a deep compassion
that my Father's given me
i will always preach the gospel
to the ends of the earth
'till everyone has heard Jesus is the way
to a heavenbound train
