I am the rail and I can hold on any load
Small in stature and sometimes I'm very cold
I do the dirty work and I am always in control
I am the backbone without me there is no road
Bones made of steel I cannot be brought down
I am the industry in each and every town
I make it happen I make the ships sail
It's time to realize that I am the rail
I am the rail I am the function and the might
Cut through mountains that is my simple rite
Laying patiently moving all of the heavy weight
Forged of steel my direction is the fate
Web of tracks spread out across the land
I am the work force I have the upper hand
I am relied on to never fail
Cannot be ignored cause I am the rail
I am the rail I make the wheels turn
Freight rolls over me without any concern
With ties and spikes I am in command
The strength is mine as I take a stand
Bones made of steel I cannot be brought down
I am the industry in each and every town
I make it happen I make the ships sail
It's time to realize that I am the rail
Web of tracks spread out across the land
I am the work force I have the upper hand
I am relied on to never fail
Cannot be ignored cause I am the rail
