Curtis Mayfield
People Get Ready
[Chorus]
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'
Don't need no ticket you just thank the Lord
[Verse 1]
People get ready
For the train to Jordan
Picking up passengers, coast to coast
Faith is key
Open the doors and board 'em
There's hope for all among the loved the most
[Bridge]
There ain't no room for the hopeless sinner
Who would hurt all mankind just to save his own
Have pity on those whose choices grow thinner
There ain't no hiding place from the Kingdom's throne
[Chorus]
So, 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 diesels hummin'
Don't need no ticket you just thank the Lord
[Outro]
I can hear the sound of the train, their comin', comin', comin'
I can hear the sound of the train, their comin', comin', comin'
I can hear the sound of the train, their comin', comin', comin'
I can hear the sound of the train, their comin', comin' comin'
I can hear the sound of the train, their comin', comin', comin'
I can hear the sound of the train, their comin', comin' comin'
I can hear the sound of the train, their comin', comin' comin'
Just get on board, just get on board
I can hear the sound of the train, their comin', comin' comin'
I can hear the sound of the train, their comin', comin' comin'
I can hear the sound of the train, their comin', comin' comin'
