Come Home
Journey of Redemption: Coming Home on the Train
Lyrics
You left here on your dirty feet
You departed from here with a sense of impurity or wrongdoing.
But you're gonna come home on the train
You will return home using the train as your mode of transportation.
You left here on your shoe leather
You left here using your own efforts and energy.
But you're gonna come home on the train
Your return journey will involve a train.
You left here on your limousine
You left in a luxurious car, possibly symbolizing a departure with privilege.
But you're gonna come home on the train
Your return, however, will be humble and ordinary, using the train.
When you left here you were putting on airs
When you departed, you were acting superior or pretending to be better than others.
Everyone looked and everyone stared
Others noticed and observed your behavior.
But there's gonna come a day when no one cares
There will come a day when your actions or demeanor won't matter to others.
When you climb up on that train
On that day, you will take the train, suggesting a return to a simpler or more humble state.
No matter what you bought or sold
Material possessions won't matter in the end.
The only thing you'll have to hold
The only things of value will be the love you've given and the truth you've spoken.
Is the love you've loved and the truth you've told
These intangible qualities will be your only possessions.
When you climb up on that train
Reiterating the idea that the train represents a transformative journey for everyone.
We're all gonna catch that train
All individuals will eventually board this metaphorical train.
