The train to nowhere

The train to nowhere

Where am I going?

I often ask myself

What will my life have been

Once I reach the end?

Cause I am on a train

One that is called Life

It rides through time, ever faster

The final stop unknown

Places and people rush by

Some places I return to

Some people hop on for a while

Most leave in the end

You never know the last time

You'll hug a friend

Kiss your loved one

Leave a view behind

So where am I going?

I already know

From dirt I came

And to dirt I will return

The train will stop

Its tracks will rust

Overgrown with moss

Its passenger long dead

Does the end matter?

All the tracks lead here

All trains stop in the end

The trains to nowhere

Everyone ends the same

No one gets off this ride alive

What matters is the journey

Where did your tracks take you?

All I can hope is that

My tracks went far and wide

Through valleys and mountains

Across sea and sky

Each cart filled with memories

Views and people left behind

Love and heartbreak and loss

My train to nowhere

And everywhere
