Curtis Mayfield
People Get Ready
[Verse 1]
People get ready, there's a train a-comin'
You don't need no baggage, you just get on board
All you need is faith to hear the diesel hummin'
You don't need no ticket, you just thank the Lord

[Verse 2]
Now people get ready there's a train to Jordan
Picking up passengers from coast to coast
Faith is the key, open the doors and board them
There's room for all among the loved and the lost

[Verse 3]
No, there ain't no room for the hopeless sinner
Who's hard on mankind just to save his own
Have pity on the fool whose chances are thinner
'Cause there's no hiding place from the Kingdom's throne

[Outro]
I'm getting ready
I'm getting ready, ready, ready
I'm getting ready
Oh, just gonna get on board
People get ready
Oh, people get ready
People get ready
Oh, you just get on board
