Driving across Dakota, I saw an old freight train
That train has crossed this state through the wind the snow and rain
Now the wheels were rusted golden and it wasn't on a track
Somebody somewhere swore that train would be coming backBut You remain
Unchanged, unchanged
You remain
Unchanged, unchangedWent back to my old house and I parked across the street
I could almost see us there, my mother and me
And I could feel her gentle guidance, I could feel her hold me tight
Seems like too many years since she kissed me goodnightBut You remain
Unchanged, unchanged
You remain
Unchanged, unchanged
You remainYou remain
Unchanged, unchanged
You remain
Unchanged, unchangedYou remain
Unchanged, unchangedWalking with my father down the avenue
For every step he took, I must've taken two
Now his steps have grown much slower but time keeps rushing on
We know this life's so fragile but we're both counting onThat, You remain
Unchanged, unchanged
You remain
Unchanged, unchangedYou remain
Unchanged, unchanged
Amen
