Lyrics
(Verse 1)
The Amish come, step inside,
On the Amtrak, side by side.
Same hair, same beards,
With screaming children, it gets loud.
(Chorus)
On the train, all in line,
No one laughs, no joy.
You smile, they stare back,
With silent eyes, without happiness.
(Verse 2)
The men with hats,
The women in clothes, plain and good.
Children play, make a lot of noise,
But the elders remain firm.
(Chorus)
On the train, all in line,
No one laughs, no joy.
You smile, they stare back,
With silent eyes, without happiness.
(Bridge)
The Amtrak rolls through the land,
The Amish quiet, hand in hand.
The world outside, it passes by,
In the train, they stay shy and true.
(Verse 3)
Packing bags, stiff and plain,
With much faith on their face.
Travel from place to place,
Despite the noise, find peace on board.
(Chorus)
On the train, all in line,
No one laughs, no joy.
You smile, they stare back,
With silent eyes, without happiness.
(Verse 4)
The landscape passes by, fields and farms,
The Amish sit with quiet charm.
Their simple life, a quiet song,
On this journey, where they belong.
(Verse 5)
A child laughs, a rare delight,
In the midnight, in the silent time.
The train continues, at a steady pace,
Bringing the stories they have packed.
(Chorus)
On the train, all in line,
No one laughs, no joy.
You smile, they stare back,
With silent eyes, without happiness.
(Verse 6)
Destination in sight, they prepare,
With humble hearts and consecrated ears.
The Amish step off, onto the land,
Leaving footprints in the sand.
(Chorus)
On the train, all in line,
No one laughs, no joy.
You smile, they stare back,
With silent eyes, without happiness.
(Outro)
The train stops, they step out,
With quiet steps, they head home.
The journey ends, but one thing’s clear,
The Amish remain, so wonderful.
