The Night Train

Hold on to your dreams,

Your dreams are the place where you want to be,

I hold on to my dreams -

That's the one thing they can't take away from me,

Everyday - we struggle against mediocrity,

And we can't pay the rent,

'Cause the money's all spent,

And you really need to get free;

Day after day we stare in the face of adversity,

You get poked you get shoved,

By some guy up above -

That's just the way it goes;

CHORUS:

Riding on the night train,

Sometimes you feel it's all a waste of time,

Riding on the night train,

The enemy is just a state of mind.

I feel like a freak,

Every moment I work in the factory,

Got the wolf at my door,

And I don't even know what we do this work for,

But I still have a dream, just my girl and me,

All we need's a change of scene,

They can say what they like,

But someday we might,

Swim the river - swim to freedom,

Take a boat and sail to Eden;

Riding on the night train,

Sometimes you feel it's all a waste of time,

Riding on the night train,

The enemy is just a state of mind.
