No, I'm not color blind
I know the world is black and white
I try to keep an open mind
But I just can't sleep on this, tonightStop this train
I want to get off and go home again
I can't take the speed it's moving in
I know I can't
But, honestly, won't someone stop this train?Don't know how else to say it
I don't want to see my parents go
One generation's length away
From fighting life out on my ownStop this train
I want to get off and go home again
I can't take the speed it's moving in
I know I can't
But, honestly, won't someone stop this train?So scared of getting older
I'm only good at being young
So I play the numbers game
To find a way to say that life has just begunHad a talk with my old man
Said, "Help me understand"
He said, "Turn sixty-eight
You'll renegotiate""Don't stop this train
Don't for a minute change the place you're in
And don't think I couldn't ever understand
I tried my hand
John, honestly, we'll never stop this train"Once in a while, when it's good
It'll feel like it should
When you're all still around
And you're still safe and sound
And you don't miss a thing
'Till you cry when you're driving away in the darkSinging, stop this train
I want to get off and go home again
I can't take the speed it's moving in
I know, I can't
'Cause now I see I'll never stop this train.
