Orphan Train Lyrics

(Julie Miller)

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

Chorus: 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 

(Repeat Chorus) 

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 

(Repeat Chorus twice) 

It'll take you all the way home

It's gonna take you all the way home
