Train On a Track - Kelly Rowland

I'm the first one on at the Ashland station Got a long way to go to my destination Yeah, I always ride in the same old seat Right in the middle where I can see Faces on a train Faces on a train There's a woman thumbing paper in a company folder Black leather bag hangin' off her shoulder With a pinstripe suit and her hair pulled back She's a northbound woman on the management track Faces on a train Faces on a train There's an old man sitting with his hands in his lap From a ticker tape world where they all wore hats And I wonder why he rides alone If there's anyone waiting for him when he gets back home Faces on a train Faces on a train I don't know you I don't know you I don't know nothin' 'bout you And you don't know me You don't know me You don't know nothin' 'bout me Wish I knew you Wish I knew you Wish I knew somethin' 'bout you Wish you knew me Wish you knew me Faces on a train Faces on a train Faces on a train We're all just Faces on a train Doors slide open and a couple walks in He hangs on the rail, she hangs on to him I can't be sure but it might be love 'Cause the old man smiles and his eyes well up Faces on a train We're all just Faces on a train Never there early but we're always on time We'll go our own way at the end of the line And you don't know me And I don't know you But we share the same air for a minute or two On a train Faces on a train Wish I knew you Wish I knew you Wish I knew somethin' 'bout you Wish you knew me Wish you knew me Wish you knew somethin' bout' me Faces on a train

If I saw Jesus on a train Would I even ask His name? Or just use it all in vain, maybe offer Him some change? Or just let Him get off all alone and walk home in the rain? If I saw Jesus at my door Would I leave Him on the porch? Or would I break bread with Him, bow my head, and say, "Amen"? Or just turn off the lights and lock the door, too scared to let Him in? Would it be a stranger passin' in the night? Would I just see danger? Would I see the light in His eyes? In a moment, could I feel it in myself? Would I even know? If I saw Jesus at my church With no shoes and an untucked shirt Would I offer Him a seat, or just turn the other cheek? Would I see myself in Him, or just somebody off the street? Would it be a stranger passin' in the night? Would I just see danger? Would I see the light in His eyes? In a moment, could I feel it in myself? Would I even know? Would I even know? If I saw Jesus on a train Would I even ask His name? Or just use it in vain, maybe offer Him some change? Or just let Him get off all alone and walk home in the rain?

Sometimes you see someone When you've already got someone Still you wonder what if they had come Along, a long time ago You know that they're feeling it too But there ain't nothing you gonna do Except for imagine who you might have been with them They're not tryin' to make it last Just enjoying each second as they pass 'Cause as these little brick houses are flying by 'Neath the flickering of the railcar lights I let myself get lost in your eyes a while Not another passenger in here can see How in my mind you're holdin' me While outside the cold makes snow out of the rain But in here we're just strangers on a train Start to smile, I turn my head It's kinda like a spider's web I just can't seem to shake you off So I look your way again You're staring off trying to pretend Like you haven't even noticed me at all But don't feel guilty it don't mean much The truth is the two of us ain't never gonna touch 'Cause as these little brick houses are flying by 'Neath the flickering of the railcar lights I let myself get lost in your eyes a while Not another passenger in here can see How in my mind you're holdin' me While outside the cold makes snow out of the rain But in here we're just strangers on a train Brakes grind, I gotta go Reach down pick up my coat Afraid that you might stop me in the aisle Watch my breath rising in the air I can't do nothing but just stand there As you press your hand against the windowpane And I wave to my stranger on a train My stranger on a train

Late night, I can't sleep Looking out the window there's a man there on the street He's pushing a shopping cart He's looking for cans and a brand new start Fault lines that separate The inside of these walls from that outside gate Tell me what's the difference between him and me Tell me what's the difference and who does he see Is it who I am? is it where I've been? Is it how I was raised or just destiny? No it don't matter if you're standing in the rain We're all trying to get to heaven on a hell-bound train Now I know a girl, she's had a tough time She's living a life much harder than mine But she's a sweet thing and as tough as can be She's raising four kids, that's called a family She's got a little problem, sometimes it gets big She's playing with the needles, sometimes they stick in But oh what a thing to live and breathe Ain't it the same for both her and for me Is it who I am? is it where I've been? Is it how I was raised or just destiny? No it don't matter if you're standing in the rain We're all trying to get to heaven on a hell-bound train Late night, I can't sleep The man outside the window is staring back at me Is he thinking the same thing How we're trying to get to heaven Yeah we're trying to get to heaven Is it who I am? is it where I've been? Is it how I was raised or just destiny? No it don't matter if you're strong or you're in pain It don't matter if you're waxing or waning It's not who you are, it's not where you've been It's not how you were raised and it's not destiny We're all trying to get to heaven just the same We're all trying to get to heaven on a hell-bound train
