Curtis Mayfield – People Get Ready lyrics

People get ready
There's a train a commin'
U don't need no baggage
U just get on board
All U need is faith
To hear the diesels hummin'
U don't need no ticket
U just thank the lord

So people get ready
There'a a train to jordan
Picking up passengers
Coast to coast
Faith is the key
Open the doors and board them
There's hope for all
Among those loved the most

There ain't no room
For the hopeless sinner
Whom would hurt all mankind
Just to save his own
Have pitty on those whose
Chances grow thinner
For there is no hiding place
Against the kingdom's throne

People get ready
There's a train a commin'
U don't need no baggage
U just get on board
All U need is faith
To hear the diesels hummin'
U don't need no ticket
U just thank the lord
