Even though I've a new script This play's not ending with A happily ever after scene Already another curtain Rising on a tragedy Even before the last is grieved How many times have you heard me say Get me off, I want off this train Thought I could make a great escape To serenity But now I know that I've got to stay Inside the struggle, it's the only way To move forward The serenity is within me Maybe in death the chaos Fades into endless light If our myths can be believed But I'm too in love with living Through the beauty and the fight Here in the mess I'll make my peace How many times have you heard me say Get me off, I want off this train I thought I'd make a grand escape To serenity But now I know that I want to stay Inside the struggle, it's the only way To move forward The serenity is within me I've got to stay I want to stay On this train I'm on my way How many times have you heard me say Get me off, I want off this train I thought I'd make a great escape To serenity But now I know that I've got to stay Inside the struggle, it's the only way To move forward The serenity is within me
