Orphan Train
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Come all you broken hearted, come and lay your burden down
Come kings and queens, come royalty surrender up your crown
Come empty-handed come with nothing of your own to claim
Come naked, poor, come like a child to ride the orphan train
Come ride, ride on the orphan train
Put your ear to the track, you can hear your name
Come ride, ride on the orphan train, it'll take you all the way home
The way is narrow, it is steep that brings you to the door
But love awaits there to embrace your heart forevermore
Come you abandoned, you forsaken
Friendless and alone, come refugees left homesick for
Some place you've never known
Here princes, paupers, criminals and saints are all the same
No more or less than God's beloved child aboard this train
Come ride, ride on the orphan train
Put your ear to the track, you can hear your name
Come ride, ride on the orphan train, it'll take you all the way home
The way is narrow, it is steep that brings you to the door
But love awaits there to embrace your heart forevermore
Come ride, ride on the orphan train
Put your ear to the track, you can hear your name
Come ride, ride on the orphan train, it'll take you all the way home
The way is narrow, it is steep that brings you to the door
But love awaits there to embrace your heart forevermore
It'll take you all the way home
It's gonna take you all the way home
Surrender
(Sally Barris/Karyn Rochelle)
Baby, it's like dreaming when you're wide-awake
Surrender
Baby, would you, would you like to go to paradise with me
Let me kiss you, let me love you
Close your eyes and you'll see
The sun is shining, the tide is rising
The water's pulling at our feet
Hold your breath, now take my hand and come with me
Let me just take you there, I could just take you there
Won't you let me take you there right now
Leave the world waiting there, leave it without a care
Baby, if you dare, I'll show you how
Waves are washing over me
Set your spirit free, surrender
Baby, emotions run deep
Let's go underneath, surrender
No defenses, just your senses
And the pounding of a heart
It's like dreaming when you're wideawake
Every time I take you in my arms
Let me just take you there
I could just take you there
Won't you let me take you there right now?
Feel the heat on your skin
Sweeter than it's ever been
Why don't we just give in to it now?
Waves are washing over me
Set your spirit free, surrender
Baby, emotions run deep
Let's go underneath, surrender
Let me just take you there
I could just take you there
Won't you let me take you there right now?
Feel the heat on your skin
Sweeter than it's ever been
Why don't we just give in to it now?
Waves are washing over me
Set your spirit free, surrender
Baby, emotions run deep
Let's go underneath, surrender
Waves are washing over me
Set your spirit free, surrender
Baby, emotions run deep
Let's go underneath, surrender
Baby, would you, would you like to go to paradise with me
Hold your breath now
Take my hand and
Come with me
