Lyrics Railroad To the Sea - Paul Roberts

Railroad To the Sea

Tell us we can be the very best and we will follow
Say that we can stand out from the rest and we will follow
But tell us we may never be what we wanted to be
We build a railroad to the sea
Show us pretty party people having fun and we will follow
Show us the exotic places in the sun and we will follow
But tell us we may never see what we want life to be
We build a railroad to the sea
Crying and laughing and singing and dying
Loving and living and lying forgiving — follow
Shaking and quaking and faking and breaking
Taking and making anticipating — follow
Wanting and choosing and winning and losing
Re-shaping our lives or just waiting to see
We build a railroad to the sea
Give us this day our daily kingdom come and we will follow
Show us how to get that muscle tone and we will follow
But tell us this may never be tell us nothing is free
We build a railroad to the sea
