Run through the fields, run through the sands
run through the woods of distant lands

Run with the dreams of a little child
and take with you this deep breath of mine

Run to the East, run to the West
run with the heartbeat inside my chest

Run for the hope of a brand new day
Run for the blood inside my veins

Run, old steam train
Run for us, like there's no other way
Keep running for us, like we don't live in vain
Run for me, my old steam train

Run for the voices that nobody heard
take away all these things, strange and absurd

Run through the mountains and over the rivers
take with you our letters and then bring us shivers 

Run for the hope of a brand new day
Your fuel is the blood running in our veins

Run to the end, to a place I'll never see
and when you reach the ocean
say a prayer for me

Run, old steam train
Run for us, like there's no other way
Keep running for us, like we never lived in vain
Run for me, my old steam train
