Shoreline of Eternity

You get on board when you’re too young for knowing
Where the tracks are gonna lead
Takes a while till you know you’re headed for
The shoreline of eternity

Have a seat by the window, you’ll get a great view
Of raging rivers quiet fields and streams
Sometimes it’s gentle sometimes rough going toward
The shoreline of eternity

Rolling rolling rolling, through cities where you see the air
And country where it’s free to breathe
You’ll see the winners and the ones who bleed for
The shoreline of eternity

Wheels clackityclacking, whistle moaning
Through mountain tunnels, dark and deep
Something’s coming up clear in the distance
The shoreline of eternity

Steady steady slowing, ready for the last stop
Seems all those years have taken wing
Keep your faith wrapped close around you
At the shoreline of eternity

Watch your step getting off the train
Don’t fear the dark, the light you will receive
God will take your hand and be your guide
On the shoreline of eternity
