Ride the Ride

I’m standing on the train tracks

Cold steel under worn-out shoes

Sky wide like a question

Wind carrying yesterday’s news

I don’t know where these rails end

Every sign feels half-erased

But someone laid this line down

Long before I knew this place

So I ride the ride

Heart in my throat

Eyes open wide

I don’t see the map

But I trust the hands that drew these lines

If I can’t see the turning

I still lean into the light

I don’t know where these tracks lead

But I’ve got faith

And I ride the ride (ride the ride)

Miles hum under my heartbeat

Old fears shaking in their seats

Every doubt a quiet echo

Every hope a steady beat

If I end up in the valley

Or at a door I’ve never tried

I’ll remember who designed this

I’m just here to take the ride

So I ride the ride

Heart in my throat

Eyes open wide

I don’t see the map

But I trust the hands that drew these lines

If I can’t see the turning

I still lean into the light

I don’t know where these tracks lead

But I’ve got faith

And I ride the ride (yeah, I ride)

Maybe there’s a bend I’m fearing

Maybe there’s a storm ahead

But every tie beneath my feet

Says I’m not walking here by chance

So I ride the ride

Heart in my throat

Eyes open wide

I don’t see the map

But I trust the hands that drew these lines

If I can’t see the turning

I still lean into the light

I don’t know where these tracks lead

But I’ve got faith

And I ride the ride (ride the ride)
