Lyrics
Everyone is waiting for a train
Anticipation and expectation for a common event or change represented by a train.
Heading back the way from which they came
Individuals retracing their steps or returning to a previous state.
Everyone who's walking in the light
People navigating through life's challenges with clarity or morality.
Most of them will make it out alright
An optimistic outlook, with the majority expected to overcome difficulties.
Just when they begin to understand
A moment of comprehension, but disruptions can still occur.
Someone has to go and change the plan
Unexpected changes in plans disrupting understanding or progress.
Everyone knows someone working hard
A recognition of individuals striving hard in their endeavors.
Half-way finished paying off the car
Financial commitments and efforts to fulfill them.
Some of them can see the other side
Some individuals can envision success or achievement.
Some get turned away when they arrive
Some face obstacles or rejection upon reaching their goals.
Everyone who's walking in the light
Similar to line 4, reiterating the challenges faced by those in moral clarity.
Some of them won't make it out alright
Despite efforts, not everyone will overcome challenges.
Just when they begin to understand someone has to go
Repetition of the idea that disruptions occur when understanding deepens.
and change the plan
Reinforcement of the theme of unexpected changes affecting plans.
Everyone is cleaning up a mess
A collective effort to resolve problems or address issues.
Making peace with some kind of regret
Acceptance and resolution of past mistakes or sorrows.
Anyone can learn to be alone
Anyone can learn to be independent or self-sufficient.
That's the way we come, the way we go
Life's journey is a cyclical process of coming and going.
Everyone who's walking in the light
Reiteration of the challenges faced by those in moral clarity.
Most of them will make it out alright
Optimism persists, with the majority expected to overcome difficulties.
Just when they begin to understand someone has to go
Repetition emphasizing that disruptions accompany increased understanding.
Just when I begin to understand someone has to go
Personalization of the struggle to comprehend, leading to disruptions.
and change the plan
Reiteration of the idea that plans can be unexpectedly changed.
