The Peace Train (chant Has Just Begun) Songtext

The peace train says that in the first carriage rides FREEDOM a CONFUSED man who states that the whole of his life from SCHOOL-house to CHURCH-house, PUBLIC-meeting to POLITICAL rally, DEMONSTRATION to CONVERSATION TRAVELS to be MISUNDERSTOOD PEOPLE not knowing WORDS anymore. In the SECOND CARRIAGE ETYMOLOGICAL man speaks out of turn, sitting behind CONFUSION having picked a GOLD watch out of his pocket screaming HEAVENS TIME is out of time as he secretes the clock back out of sight. And a HOWLING WIND blasts GLORY riding to his home and sees MEANING pulling down his suitcase to display his WORDS but closes his eyes to ride on to DESTINTY Will LOVE speak yet gaze from the windows. No need to SPEAK, WORDS may only DECEIVE The PEACE TRAIN shifts on with relentless unease as the GUARD who deals not in money or cards but some FOREIGN CURRENCY shouting where are you COMING to where are you GOING from. But the WORD was down on the TRACKS down on the TRACKS The lines that were laid have been shattered The past has been bent out of shape The silver highway Truths on byway Triangle, set-square and law Are all the things that matter to the three handed man The chant has just begun The song must now be sung For the word must now be spoken The chant has just begun The oceans are stagnant and tideless The rivers are running their stream The copper skyway a constant reminder of all the things we have lost Of all the things that won't come back The joker has left the pack The chant has just begun The song must now be sung For the word must now be spoken The chant has just begun
