Paul Pena - New Train lyrics

I remember a time back in the big city near my home To the clock toll in morning Hear the sound of a gospel choir singing soft and low On a rainy day the sun was dawning But it's been a long, long time Since I've heard the rhyme Of a time and season hidden in the past And the days are growing harder And time is growing shorter Brother hating brothers spreading fast We got to get on the new train, and ride We gotta find our way to freedom Get on the new train, and ride Buy our ticket for a brand new season Trippin' down south, in the Easter time See the folks come out from worship Everyone talkin' 'bout the glories of the resurrection All of them thinking that they're perfect Well here comes a helpless man Who's down and needs a hand And the will of Christ is done by one from prison So he gets a hand from one He is condemned by some But divine love we all have if it's he lays on them He wants to get on the new train, and ride Said he's gonna find this way to freedom He wants to get on the new train, and ride Buy this way to a brand new season As I sit back looking on my history See a house with children playing, and love strong And Mama sittin' cross-leg tell me I must be my brother's keeper I'll take my strength from Daddy's song And you know I love what I see 'Cause it's taught a lot to me Made me strong and help this boy understand (yes it has) That the world is here for giving And life is here for living Let the choir sing and let me say it with the band We've got to get on the new train, and ride We gotta help us find a way to freedom We got to get on the new train, and ride Buy our ticket for a brand new season We've got to get on the new train, and ride Come on and help us find out way to freedom We've got to get on the new train, and ride Come on and help us find a way to a season Alright Take me way down home now Sho' nuff I'm goin' south now Mmm mm mm...
