The Train Will See Us Through

As the trains pass I think of you

Many miles down that track I'll wait

I'll wait to see you, to hold you, to give you the gift

The gift which will touch our lives forever

When the train stops I hear its whistle

The whistle blows, the train moves closer

Stopping now at the depot, my heart begins to flutter

My eyes begin to water, I begin to cry

My throat becomes dry, for my husband now comes home

From Iraq after just a few months, it seemed like an eternity

Soon I'll give him the good news of maternity

We're having a baby boy, a gift from God

As we reach out with a leap of romance and sensation

We kiss and kiss and suddenly I say, I have a gift for you

He looks into my eyes for more, I hand him a card, he can't bear the temptation

On the front of the envelope it says "Congratulations Daddy"

He jumps with joy, shouting "I'm going to be a daddy"

Train tracks keep calling and as the train makes it's next stop

Time will pass us by and we'll be waving goodbye

To our son, the Marine, leaving to go to war, I start to cry

The gift we received twenty years ago, making us so very happy

Now the train comes back upon the tracks, the beginning of time

Seems to repeat itself, as life is a miracle, the challenges we travel

A gift down that track, a gift chugging along, singing it's song

The train will see us through, filled with many gifts aboard

Sending me a letter from afar, I hear the whistle blow for the next stop

I'll be holding you once more, my son, my gift, my life
