The song explores themes of change, transition, and the passage of time. The song uses the metaphor of a train to represent these concepts. The train is described as emerging from behind blue mountains, carrying the ashes of the old aeon. This suggests that the train symbolizes a shift or transformation from one era or phase to another.
The lyrics also touch on the emotions and uncertainties that accompany change. The questions of who will cry or smile, stay or leave, convey the mixture of excitement and apprehension that comes with anticipating the unknown.

The song further suggests that the world has changed, as the sky is described as different from what it used to be. The imagery of a loaded and streaked sky indicates a sense of chaos or turbulence in the new era.

Lyrics:
There comes the train
From beyond the blue hills, comes the train
Huff and puff over rails
Here comes the train
Burning coal of the ages and also the words
Of their sages
Look! It's the train
It comes huffing and puffing and coughing
And calling, "Hey man!"
See, it's the train
You just leave back your luggage
You need but your courage, amen
Who's gonna cry?
Who's gonna stay?
Who's gonna laugh
Going my way?
For the magic train's a comin'
Look, it's drawin' into the station
All the livin' are within
The chosen ones in this nation, oh, in this nation
Look, look, the sky
It is not the one sky that you knew
Can't you fathom the why?
Look, see the sky
See the clouds that are blowing
A glowing, can't you hear the sign?
Listen! Here's the sign
As it grows into trumpets
Beasts and strumpets, come, try
God in the sky
Skimming clouds of the atoms
Of dangers and Adam, oh my
Look at the evil
Kissing good and both bowing
And sewing their way for the train
Train, Amen
