[Intro]
All aboard
Train to Paradise
Train to…
[Verse 1]
I see the same things so many times
People search but only use their minds
Search for somethin' they cannot see
Therefore, they can't believe
They want a promise that'll never lie (Never lie)
What they desire can't be seen by the naked eye
They must take a step of faith
And believe in the unseen
[Pre-Chorus 1]
If I woulda given you a pass
That will let you into a new life
It'd be slime in your hands
You'd go, you know
The way that He's given you His word (His word)
You only believe in the truth that you've heard
Seen nothin' with unnatural ways
Believe in the Unseen
[Chorus]
Do you want a ticket on the train to Paradise
Even though you can't see the track? (I've got somethin' to touch)
Trust Him and He'll lead you all the way to Paradise
And you'll never need to look back (Come on, y'all, c—)
[Refrain]
(Come on, y'all, let's take a ride)
It's a vibe, y'all
It's kinda live, y'all
So feel the vibe, y'all
And check it out
It's a vibe, y'all
It's kinda live, y'all
So feel the vibe, y'all
And check it out
[Verse 2]
Although times seem hard and I know (Know)
It's hard to walk when you don't know where to go
The valley of the blind
Is what you seem to go through all of the time
Well, again, again, again, my friend (Ah ah ah ah)
Take heed to what I say (Ah ah ah ah)
Put your trust in the Lord (Ah ah ah ah)
For I know He'll show you the way (Ah ah ah ah)
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Be ye strong in this hour
Do rely on His power
You want to live you must receive
Even what you can't conceive
Trust in God, believe me
You'll have life, I'll agree
It's sometimes rough, riding this ride
But in the end, it's life divine
[Chorus]
Do you want a ticket on the train to Paradise
Even though you can't see the track? (I've got somethin' to touch)
Trust Him and He'll lead you all the way to Paradise
And you'll never need to look back (Come on, y'all, c—)
[Bridge]
Oh, my Lord, it's all aboard
And the ticketmaster knows for sure
Who's gonna ride on the thief in the night train
Too much bank for a brother like me
But mercy has paid me off in full
So, Mr. Conductor, give the whistle a pull
Larger than life ‘cause life on Earth is draggin'
My gift is a trip on the Lord's bandwagon
[Refrain]
It's a vibe, y'all
It's kinda live, y'all
So feel the vibe, y'all
And check it out
'Cause it's a vibe, y'all
It's kinda live, y'all
So feel the vibe, y'all
And check it out
[Chorus]
Do you want a ticket on the train to Paradise (Come on, y'all, c-c-come on, y'all)
Even though you can't see the track? (Come on, y'all, c-c-come on, y'all) (I've got somethin' to touch)
Trust Him and He'll lead you all the way to Paradise (Come on, y'all, c-c-come on, y'all)
And you'll never need to look back (Come on, y'all, c-c-come on, y'all, let's change the vibe)
[Breakdown]
Maybe we should look beyond our sights
Do you want a ticket on the train to Paradise
Make a way to feel without a touch (I've got somethin' to touch)
Even though you can't see the track?
Our trust is not just blind belief
Trust Him and He'll lead you all the way to Paradise
'Cause we use other eyes to see
And you'll never need to look back (Let's take a ride)
[Outro]
(T-t-take, let's take, take a—) Train to Paradise
(T-t-take, let's take) Way to Paradise
(T-t-take, let's take, take a—) Train to Paradise
(C-c-come on)
[Skit]
(Let's take a ride)
*car honks*
*phone rings*
Yeah, what's up?
Hey, nothin
Hey, somebody get that phone
Hey, hey, hey
Yo, get that phone
I got you, bro
Hey, get that phone, man
*phone rings*
The phone's ringin', dude
Why don't you pick up the phone, man?
