Come all you broken hearted come   And lay your burden down   Come kings and queens, come royalty   Surrender up your crown      Come empty handed, come with nothing   Of your own to claim   Come naked, poor, come like a child   To ride the orphan train      Come ride, ride on the orphan train   Put your ear to the track, you can hear your name   Come ride, ride on the orphan train   It'll take you all the way home      The way is narrow, it is steep   That brings you to the door   But love awaits there to embrace   Your heart forevermore      Come ride, ride on the orphan train   Put your ear to the track, you can hear your name   Come ride, ride on the orphan train   It'll take you all the way home      Come you abandoned, you forsaken   Friendless and alone   Come refugees left homesick for   Some place you've never known      Here princes, paupers, criminals   And saints are all the same   No more or less than God's beloved   Child aboard this train      Come ride, ride on the orphan train   Put your ear to the track, you can hear your name   Come ride, ride on the orphan train   It'll take you all the way home      Come ride, ride on the orphan train   I put my ear to the track and I heard my name   Come ride, ride on the orphan train   It'll take us all the way home
