Orphan Train Lyrics

Come all you broken hearted come and lay your burden down
Come kings and queens come royalty surrender up your crown
Come empty-handed come with nothing of your own to claim
Come naked poor come like a child to ride the orphan train

Come ride ride on the orphan train
put your ear to the track you can hear your name
come ride ride on the orphan train it'll take you all the way home

The way is narrow it is steep that brings you to the door
but love awaits there to embrace your heart forevermore

Come you abandoned you forsaken
friendless and alone come refugees left homesick for
some place you've never known
here princes paupers criminals and saints are all the same
no more or less than god's beloved child aboard this train

Come ride ride on the orphan train
