Land of Hope and Dreams (Live in Manchester, May 14, 2025)

[Verse 1]

Grab your ticket and your suitcase

Thunder's rolling down this track

Well, you don't know where you're going now

But you know you won't be back

Well, darling if you're weary

Lay your head upon my chest

We'll take what we can carry

Yeah, and we'll leave the rest

[Chorus]

Big wheels roll through fields where sunlight streams

Meet me in a land of hope and dreams

[Verse 2]

Well, I will provide for you

And I'll stand by your side

You'll need a good companion now

For this part of the ride

Yeah, leave behind your sorrows

Let this day be the last

Well, tomorrow there'll be sunshine

And all this darkness past

[Chorus]

Big wheels roll through fields where sunlight streams

Meet me in a land of hope and dreams

[Bridge]

Well, this train carries saints and sinners

This train carries losers and winners

This train carries whores and gamblers

This train carries lost souls

I said this train, dreams will not be thwarted

This train, faith will be rewarded

This train, hear the steel wheels singing

This train, bells of freedom ring

[Saxophone solo]

[Bridge]

Well, this train carries saints and sinners

This train carries losers and winners

This train carries whores and gamblers

This train carries lost souls

I said, this train carries broken-hearted

This train, thieves and sweet souls departed

This train carries fools and kings

Oh, this train, all aboard

I said, now this train, dreams will not be thwarted

This train, faith will be rewarded

This train, hear the steel wheels singing

This train, bells of freedom ring

[Saxophone solo]

Come on this train

Come on this train (train)

Come on this train (train)

Let me see your hands

Come on this train (train)

Come on this train (train)

{People Get Ready}

People get ready

There's a train a-coming

You don't need no ticket

All you gotta do is get onboard
