Land of Hope and Dreams (Springsteen on Broadway) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Grab your ticket and your suitcase
Thunder’s rollin' down this track
Well, you don’t know where you’re going now
But you know you won’t be back
Well, darling if you’re weary
Lay your head upon my chest
We’ll take what we can carry
And we’ll leave the rest

[Chorus]
Well, big wheels roll through fields where sunlight streams
Oh, meet me in a land of hope and dreams

[Verse 2]
Well, I will provide for you
And I’ll stand by your side
You’ll need a good companion now
Oh, for this part of the ride
And leave behind your sorrows
Let this day be the last
Well, tomorrow there’ll be sunshine, and sunshine
And all this darkness past

[Chorus]
Well, big wheels roll through fields where sunlight streams
Oh, meet me in a land of hope and dreams
[Bridge]
Well, this train
Carries saints and sinners
This train
Carries losers and winners
This train
Carries whores and gamblers
This train
Carries lost souls
I said this train
Carries brokenhearted
This train
Thieves and sweet souls departed
This train
Carries fools and kings
Lord, this train
All aboard
I said now this train
Dreams will not be thwarted
This train
Faith will be rewarded
This train, hear the steel wheels singin'
This train, bells of freedom ringin'

[Chorus]
Well, big wheels roll through fields where sunlight streams
Oh, meet me in a land of hope and dreams
Oh, meet me in a land of hope and dreams
[Spoken]
Thank you. Please be seated
