Lyrics
- Reach for the steam,
- Reach for the whistle
- Go where the rail may run
- Reach for the words,
- Reach for the story
- Follow the Rainbow Sun
- To a Shining Time Station
- Where dreams can come true
- Waiting there for you
- So much to see,
- So far to travel
- So much to learn, to know
- Friends by your side,
- Hopes to hold on to
- Who knows how far you'll go
- To a Shining Time Station
- Where dreams can come true
- Your own imagination
- Waiting there for you
Trivia
- The intro and outro use footage from the 1981 film, Eighty Four Forty Four.
