Lyrics Glory Train - Randy Newman

Glory Train

Will you all pass over?
Yes, Lord
Will you pass on over
And join the Lord?
Have you been redeemed?
Yes we have!
Have you been redeemed?
Yes we have!
Then you can pass on over…
You can join the Lord
I see some hard times coming
Fire and wind and rain
Billions of people, all scared of each other
Hearts full of envy and anger and pain
There on the edge of darkness
People come together again
Standing on the platform
Waiting for the glory train
Get on the glory train
Get on the glory train
They’ll be standing on the platform
Waiting for the glory train
Lift up your head and stand tall
Let faith be your only guide
With all that love inside you
Salvation cannot be denied
Just when the storm is breaking (The storm is breaking)
Just when no hope remains (No hope remains)
Rollin' into the station
Here comes the glory train
Get on the glory train
Get on the glory train
It’s rollin' into the station
Bound for glory, bound for glory
Get on the glory train
If I might intrude
Just for a moment
If only to inject a note of reality
On this festive occasion
In all my life
I don’t believe I’ve ever heard such bullshit
Even from You
A master of bullshit
You know it
I know it
It’s bullshit
Bullshit
All of the faith and prayer in the world
All of Your dumb show and circuses
You know it’s a lie
It’ll always be a lie
The invention of an animal
Who knows he’s going to die
Some fools in the desert
With nothing else to do
So scared of the dark
They didn’t know if they were coming or going
So they invented me
And they invented You
And other fools will keep it all going
And growing
Everybody!
We’re a figment of their imagination
A beautiful dream, it is true
A figment of their imagination
Me and You
And You know it
Me and You
