[Intro with guitar and soft harmonica starting as other instruments join in.] [Verse 1] Feel the firewheels turning beneath the floor Hear the midnight whistle call Maps are folded in the lantern glow But tonight we won't need them at all Every ticket holds a question Every dream can choose its track Past the gates of old remembrance Or the roads still stretching back [Pre-Chorus] Hear the wheels singing under the floor Calling us onward forevermore From old Cairo's market lights To tomorrow's silver skies The Firewheel rolls wherever dreams decide [Chorus] Ride the Firewheel Train tonight Through the smoke of memory and light Every station holds a story Every mile reveals a sight Tell me where your heart would travel Tell me when you'd choose to be Ride the Firewheel Train tonight And bring a little wonder back with me [Refrain 1 with soft harmonica backup] There's Kyoto dressed in lantern light There's Florence filled with song There's a schooner leaving Halifax Before the voyage grew too long There's the riverboats of St. Louis There's the moon in years to be Every window frames a story Every story sets us free [short acoustic guitar solo] [Verse 2] Some would walk through painted ages Where forgotten kingdoms stood Some would hear the church bells ringing Through a misty neighborhood Some would stand beside the campfires Of explorers tracing stars Some would see tomorrow's harbors Shining far beyond ours [Pre-Chorus 2] Hear the wheels singing through the night Guided by the lantern light Every mile a question asked Every dream a chance to fly The Firewheel rolls wherever hearts decide [Chorus] Ride the Firewheel Train tonight Through the smoke of memory and light Every station holds a story Every mile reveals a sight Tell me where your heart would travel Tell me when you'd choose to be Ride the Firewheel Train tonight And bring a little wonder back with me [Refrain 2 with soft harmonica backup] There's Venice dancing on the water There's the desert under stars There's a market square in old Prague And tomorrow shining with hopeful skies There's the laughter of our childhood There's the world we've yet to see Every window frames a story Every story sets us free [Outro] Name the place and name the year The Firewheel's waiting just outside Bring your hopes and bring your wonder There's always room aboard the ride Hear the wheels sing soft and low Beneath the stars they always guide Wherever hearts are brave enough to wander There's always room aboard the ride [soft instrumental fade]
