On this freight train line through my hometown 
                          F        C 
There are days I wait for night to come

When I fall asleep just to wake again

Striving for that golden crown 
        G                          F         C 
Will he say, "Well done", when the trumpet sounds 
                    F       C 
Standing where our fathers stood 
   G                   F         C 
We learn their ways to make them good

A whole wide world beckons us on 
                    F         C 
To leave behind the walls and doors 
G        F            C 
Windows, ceilings and floors

Let us breathe in mountains, breathe out sun 
Am                     F       C 
For ourselves and this race we run
