It's short, it's simple, it's crystal clear

Lost amongst our winnings

Oooo children
Lift up your voice, lift up your voice
Children
Rejoice, rejoice

Oooo children
Lift up your voice, lift up your voice
Children
Rejoice, rejoice
Verse 8:
Hey little train! We are all jumping on
The train that goes to the Kingdom
We're happy, Ma, we're having fun
And the train ain't even left the station
Verse 9:
Hey little train! Wait for me!
I once was blind but now I see
Have you left a seat for me?
Is that such a stretch of the imagination?
Verse 10:
Hey little train! Wait for me!
I was held in chains but now I'm free
I'm hanging in there, don't you see
In this process of elimination
Verse 11:
Hey little train! We are all jumping on
The train that goes to the Kingdom
We're happy, Ma, we're having fun
It's beyond my wildest expectation
Verse 12:
Hey little train! We are all jumping on
The train that goes to the Kingdom
We're happy, Ma, we're having fun
And the train ain't even left the station (Fade Out)
