Verse
Sittin' here waiting for the train leading out
All I am within is all I have without
The ocean's long and the current's strong
but my ardor is devout
And finding what's within is what this trip's about
x2
Woke up quick, moonlit figure on display
A man asked my purpose, a woman asked my name
Said I've lost all sight of wrong and right,
and I leave to find my way
And I'm called a new name every day
Chorus
Because where I left is all I know,
I'm accountable for how I grow
And for whether I'm an honest man someday
The train across will cause me pain,
but progress friends you cannot feign
All I want won't come along my way,
won't come along my way
x2
x3
A kid my age, took to his feet and said
Who I am now, ain't the dream that's in my head
For all I've tried, I've lied and lied and my soul is nearly dead
But the ride ain't quite over yet
Because where I left is all I know,
I'm accountable for how I grow
And for whether I'm an honest man someday
The train across will cause me pain,
but progress friends you cannot feign
All I want won't come along my way,
x2
Bridge
In spite of me the wind will hit the trees
And all the rest will chase all that I need
And if I never try and continue all the lies
All I want will simply stay a dream
Because where I left is all I know,
I'm accountable for how I grow
And for whether I'm an honest man someday
The train across will cause me pain,
but progress friends you cannot feign
All I want won't come along my way,
