Come all you broken hearted, come and lay your burden downCome kings and queens, come royalty surrender up your crownCome empty-handed come with nothing of your own to claimCome naked, poor, come like a child to ride the orphan trainCome ride, ride on the orphan trainPut your ear to the track, you can hear your nameCome ride, ride on the orphan train, it'll take you all the way homeThe way is narrow, it is steep that brings you to the doorBut love awaits there to embrace your heart forevermoreCome you abandoned, you forsakenFriendless and alone, come refugees left homesick forSome place you've never knownHere princes, paupers, criminals and saints are all the sameNo more or less than God's beloved child aboard this trainCome ride, ride on the orphan trainPut your ear to the track, you can hear your nameCome ride, ride on the orphan train, it'll take you all the way homeThe way is narrow, it is steep that brings you to the doorBut love awaits there to embrace your heart forevermoreCome ride, ride on the orphan trainPut your ear to the track, you can hear your nameCome ride, ride on the orphan train, it'll take you all the way homeThe way is narrow, it is steep that brings you to the doorBut love awaits there to embrace your heart forevermoreIt'll take you all the way homeIt's gonna take you all the way homeSurrender(Sally Barris/Karyn Rochelle)Baby, it’s like dreaming when you’re wide-awakeSurrenderBaby, would you, would you like to go to paradise with meLet me kiss you, let me love youClose your eyes and you'll seeThe sun is shining, the tide is risingThe water's pulling at our feetHold your breath, now take my hand and come with meLet me just take you there, I could just take you thereWon't you let me take you there right nowLeave the world waiting there, leave it without a careBaby, if you dare, I'll show you howWaves are washing over meSet your spirit free, surrenderBaby, emotions run deepLet's go underneath, surrenderNo defenses, just your sensesAnd the pounding of a heartIt's like dreaming when you're wideawakeEvery time I take you in my armsLet me just take you thereI could just take you thereWon't you let me take you there right now?Feel the heat on your skinSweeter than it's ever beenWhy don't we just give in to it now?Waves are washing over meSet your spirit free, surrenderBaby, emotions run deepLet's go underneath, surrenderLet me just take you thereI could just take you thereWon't you let me take you there right now?Feel the heat on your skinSweeter than it's ever beenWhy don't we just give in to it now?Waves are washing over meSet your spirit free, surrenderBaby, emotions run deepLet's go underneath, surrenderWaves are washing over meSet your spirit free, surrenderBaby, emotions run deepLet's go underneath, surrenderBaby, would you, would you like to go to paradise with meHold your breath nowTake my hand andCome with me
