If you're a child, come on board
If you're an elder, come on board
If you're young or old or any age in between,
Come on board, come on board.
Yeah, if you're young or old or any age in between.
Come on board, come on board.

And if you're female, come on board;
And if you're male, come on board,
If you're father cooks the meals, 
and your mother drives eighteen wheels,
Come on board, come on board.
Yeah, if you're father cooks the meals,
and your mother drives eighteen wheels,
come on board, come on board!

Chorus:
This train is bound for healing,
This train is rolling on the rails of compassion.
This train is bound for justice,
This train is riding down the track toward liberation!
Won't you come on board?

And if you're Jewish, come on board.
Or if you're Muslim, come on board.
If you're Hindu or Christian or Buddhist,
Come on board, come on board.
And if you honor the Earth Mother, or Great Spirit,
Come on board, come on board!

Chorus

And if you're African, come on board,
And if you're Asian, come on board.
If you're ancestors came from different places 'round the world,
come on board, come on board.
Yeah, if you're ancestors came from different places 'round the world, 
come on board, come on board!

So if you're part Spanish, come on board.
And if you're part German, come on board.
If you're Scotch Irish, Italian or Native American,
come on board, come on board.
Yeah, if you're Scotch Irish, Italian or Native American,
Come on board, come on board!

Chorus

Coda: We have lots of differences, but we've lots more in common!
