Morning Train
Written by David Francey

 I met Jesus in the morning He was waiting for a train He said He thought it might be time To come down and explain How wrong it was to do some things And do them in His name He said, "After all, everybody's Riding on this train"  I met Buddha on the subway On the subway underground Saw his smile slowly fade I saw him look around He said He wished we'd understand And do so in His name He said, "After all, everybody's Riding on this train" 
Met Allah on the El train Above the city streets We rattled down the railway line And we looked down on the meek He said He wondered why it was Some never feel the pain He said, "After all, everybody's Riding on this train"  I saw the Devil standing At the station in the rain He had a smile upon his face Self-satisfied and vain Said, "Heaven is its own reward I don't have to explain"  He said, "After all, everybody's Riding on this train"
