cold,
The Lightning Tree stands stiff and old,
Branches bent by the lightning rent,
the lightning rent from the firmament,

The gospel train's a comin'

the wheels a turning
and rolling through the land
Get on board! Get on board! Get on board!
There's room for many a more,
Wooh wooh! Wooh wooh!

The rich and poor are there
No second class aboard this train
no difference in the fare
Get on boardl Get on board! Get on board!
There's room for many a more
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside,
Down by the riverside
l'm gonna lay down my sword and shield
Down by the riverside, Down by the riverside.

A whisper of green in the lightning tree,
Dreams come true when you want them to,

and the walls came tumbling down
Well you can talk about your men of Gideon
You can talk about your men of Saul
