Eastbound Train
Journey of Life's Departures: Eastbound Reflections
Lyrics
Long ago my loved ones bade me farewell
Parting from my loved ones happened a while back
They rolled off on an eastbound train
They departed, heading towards the east on a train
All of my friends said, 'We'll see you soon'
All my friends assured me of meeting again soon
They rolled off on an eastbound train
They departed on an eastbound train
You never know the way life goes
Life's path is unpredictable
You never know the way life goes
Life's course is uncertain and unpredictable
I'm packing my bags with my hopes and my dreams
I'm preparing to leave with my aspirations and desires
I'm boarding an eastbound train
Getting on a train that's heading east
There are so many places waiting to be seen
Many unexplored places are waiting for exploration
When I'm riding an eastbound train
When traveling on an eastbound train
You never know the way life goes
Life's uncertainties are highlighted
You never know the way life goes
Reiteration of life's unpredictable nature
Don't they last forever when they come
Memorable moments seem everlasting
This worlds' blues and pains
The world's sorrows and troubles
And then one morning life moves on
Life progresses despite hardships
See how the landscapes change
Observing how surroundings change
You never know the way life goes
Emphasizing life's uncertainties
You never know the way life goes
Reiterating the uncertainty of life's path
I'm quiet on the platform, holding in my breath
Quietly waiting on the station, filled with anticipation
I'm waiting for an eastbound train
Anticipating the arrival of an eastbound train
We won't dwell for long but we never will forget
Acknowledging brief stops but not forgetting
Those who rode the eastbound train
Remembering those who traveled on the eastbound train
You never know the way life goes
Reiteration of life's uncertainties
You never know the way life goes
Reiterating the unpredictable nature of life
Riding an eastbound train
Emphasis on the act of traveling towards the east
Riding an eastbound train
-Riding an eastbound train
