And from far in the distance a train did arrive
A thousand polar bears were passengers inside
And the creature said to the boy, "Are you ready for the ride?"
And the boy said, "Yes, I think I am"
So they sped through the hills, and over mountains they did go
Over old wooden bridges withered from the cold
And the boy stared out of the window and smiled at all he could see
And they travelled through the desert to the setting sun
Over streams and rivers to where it all begun
And through the wind and the rain until the days were done
They rode through the land
And all of a sudden, the train it did stop
The creature said to the boy, "This is where we both get off"
And all the polar bears climbed to the top of the train
To wave their goodbyes
Alone, they walked through a featureless land
No blade of grass, no grain of sand
And on the horizon, a great cedar did stand
And the creature said, "This is where I must go".
