Subway Poem # 24

Deliverance

come you crippled, come you lame

journey to salvation

you with grievances lay blame

come in from the station

we ride through an underworld

railway to redemption

rest your heads, let them be crowned

during our ascension

sing you sinners for your peace

underneath your covers

let them be your golden fleece

let us all be lovers

rise into the brand new day

rise into the promise

on a track that doesn't stray --

tell the doubting thomas

here's where we step off today

here's where we transform

we are off and on our way

now we're safe and warm...

now we're safe from harm...

now we're safe and warm
