Runaway Train Lyrics by Marty Magehee

Open

0

The second hand is spinnin'
Feel's like time's slippin'
Drippin' through our fingers
We're movin' and we're shakin'
Blessed ties we're breakin'
Racin' into the future

Will we ever take the time to look back
Will we ever realize
We're not on the right track

We're runnin' out of control
Sellin' our souls
For a ticket on a runaway train
No matter how far we go
We're movin' farther from home
Bound for Babel on a runaway train

The coals are in the fire
All aboard desire
We're rollin' higher
Buildin' the tower
This is human nature
To believe the fable
We're able to match our maker

Maybe somewhere down the line
We'll look back
Maybe then we'll realize
We're not on the right track

We're runnin' out of control
Sellin' our souls
For a ticket on a runaway train
No matter how far we go
We're movin' farther from home
Bound for Babel on a runaway train

We're in a deadly human race
Conducting our own destiny
(Never make it on our own)
Only God's unchanging grace
Can pull us off this crazy thing

Before it all crashes down
We've got to turn it around
Run for cover from this runaway train

We're runnin' out of control
(There is a faithful Father)
Sellin' our souls
(He is a mighty tower)
For a ticket on a runaway train
(He is the only way)
(To escape this runaway)
No matter how far we go
(Oh, this runaway)
We're moving farther from home
(Oh, just runaway)
Bound for Babel on a runaway train
(From this runaway train)
