Or travel with trust and love and faith restored
These choices you have and these choices only
When that train rolls in and you step on boardNow that whistle blows, yes its already whinin'
If you listen close, you can hear it soft and clear
And that headlight burns, yes it's already shinin'
You might as well choose right now, it's love or fear
It's love or fear
