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
