This Train

"This Train", also known as "This Train Is Bound for Glory", is a traditional American gospel song first recorded in 1922. Although its origins are unknown, the song was relatively popular during the 1920s as a religious tune, and it became a gospel hit in the late 1930s for singer-guitarist Sister Rosetta Tharpe. After switching from acoustic to electric guitar, Tharpe released a more secular version of the song in the early 1950s. The song's popularity was also due in part to the influence of folklorists John A. Lomax and Alan Lomax, who discovered the song while making field recordings in the American South in the early 1930s and included it in folk song anthologies that were published in 1934 and 1960.

Time doesn't scare me, no I'm not impressed by time 
In the scheme of eternity 
Millenniums don't seem to be worth much more than a dime 
Except for the love that you find in it 
Every minute's worth its weight in gold 
Whether you're a million years young, or a million years old 

And if I'm still around a million years from now 
If I'd been around a million years ago 
Every thing I've learned or forgotten, imagined or come to know 
Would disappear into the moment, I found that love would not give out 
Even if I'm still around another million years from now 

And change doesn't scare me, no I'm not impressed by change 
In the light of reality 
These fads are just fallacies, and they all get washed away 
Except for the change that brings me closer to the love that always proves 
As current as tomorrow or as ancient as the truth 

And if I'm still around a million years from now 
If I'd been around a million years ago 
Every thing I've learned or forgotten, imagined or come to know 
Would disappear into the moment, I found that love would not give out 
Even if I'm still around another million years from now 

All the 'way back when's' and 'ever afters' spin their wheels 
And love looks back and laughs at them from yet another million years 

And if I'm still around a million years from now 
If I'd been around a million years ago 
Every thing I've learned or forgotten, imagined or come to know 
Would disappear into the moment, I found that love would not give out 
Even if I'm still around another million years from now 

And when I disappear into that moment...
