Driving across Dakota

I saw an old freight train

That train has crossed this state

Through the wind the snow and rain

Now the wheels were rusted golden

And it wasn't on a track

Somebody somewhere swore that train would be coming back



CHORUS

You remain

Unchanged, unchanged

You remain

Unchanged, unchanged



Went back to my old house

And I parked across the street

I could almost see us there

My mother and me

And I could feel her gentle guidance

I could feel her hold me tight

Seems like too many years since she kissed me goodnight



CHORUS

You remain

Unchanged, unchanged

You remain

Unchanged, unchanged

You remain

Unchanged, unchanged



Walking with my father

Down the avenue

For every step he took

I must've taken two

Now his steps have grown much slower

but time keeps rushing on

We know this life's so fragile

But we're both counting on, that



CHORUS

Amen.
