[Verse 1]
When I hear the train coming uphill
All I do is run fast as I can
To get close when the whistle blows
And I can sing my song
[Verse 2]
Children coming from everywhere
Running just behind me
Making noises, feeling good
Oh I wish that I could drive the train
Crossing spaces with sound
[Chorus]
[scatting]
[Verse 3]
I can hear my train miles away
Bringing hope to people all the way
Children, men, and women all the same
They're awaiting the train
[Verse 4]
Children coming from everywhere
Running just behind me
Making noises, feeling good
Oh I wish that I could drive thе train
Crossing spaces with sound
I could drive the train
