Story behind the song

So many things to fear.  We can drown in them, or we can choose to ignore the things we can't control and do what we can.

Lyrics

Try To Ride This Train
©2004 Tim Wheeler

The day they caught the number three man
They say he was the one with the plan.
But those who lost their family and friends
Didn’t even recognize his name

We all try to ride this train
We endure the trials and pain
Sometimes seem the last ones to remain
We all try to ride this train
We all try to ride this train
                                                
"I don’t even know who they are”
He said as he picked them off from the trunk of his car
There's just no way to make sense of it all
Hard enough to do what we can                                                
                                                        
We all try to ride this train
We endure the trials and the pain
Sometimes there is joy in our refrain
We all try to ride this train
We all try to ride this train
                                                
And these rails go way beyond horizons
That you nor I or anyone can see
And they may veer and seek a new direction
But they will never, never cease to be
