I wrote this song on the Southbound Fruitvale BART platform.
lyrics
There’s a train arriving on platform #2
Whether you’re on it when it leaves is up to you.
Some trains you ride cause they’re fast, some cause they’re slow
Some trains you ride cause you want to find out where they go
When you forget where you are’s when you feel most alive
Whenever you get off the train’s when you arrive.
The stops where you stop, the connections you make
The things you let in and the the things you forsake
Draw out a map of survival
And every train’s full of arrivals
