young george – train2philly lyrics
i fade into you
we take
the train to philly
near the hometown of my father
with bottles in paper bags
what happened to all the honor?
i still believe in karma
as naive as that sounds
but it helps me react calmer
for fear of what’s coming ’round
now most of us getting loud
just trying to be ourselves
drinking until we drown
we both know it all too well
but then i look up, what?
that can’t be who it seems
beard and hair long as any
with sandals upon his feet
white robe that looks like a sheet
i say jesus, can it be?
my friends all pause to laugh
it’s your reflection that you see
i found the path
on a dirty train track
let me reach into your soul
who’s looking back
when i’m looking at
the only one who could know
i fade into you
no really that can’t be me
i promise that i can see him
ok, we see him too
but still i think there’s a reason
so when i hear these girls speaking
in spanish i try to greet them
i roll my r’s poorly
they’re laughing and then they’re cheesing
we finally get to our stop
i tell ’em it’s nice to meet ’em
who knew that so many thoughts
would come from a random meeting
reflect later in the evening
the meaning of being decent
a little difference in language
don’t change the way that we see ’em
we’re born into this world even
society takes your freedom
depending on your skin
or your name
it’s such a shame
i found the path
on a dirty train track
let me reach into your soul
who’s looking back
when i’m looking at
the only one who could know
i fade into you
we sit by a man with dreadlocks
he’s deadlocked in conversation
he asks the girls where they’re from
new jersey i hear ’em saying
there’s nothing but smiling faces
it gives me hope for salvation
the most beautiful people exist in all different races
as we move station to station
i see art i’m in amazement
all these places have such character
i feel an admiration
for the cultures and their customs
their patience, wisdom, and sayings
despite all the operations
they stuck it out now they’re staying
i’m praying that something changes
and we’re accepting these angels
cause lately we’ve just been shaming ’em
acting nothing but blameless
it’s craziness
