People Get Ready Songtext
von Curtis Mayfield

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's hummin'
You don′t need no ticket
You just thank the lord

So people get ready
For the 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 pity on those whose
Chances grow thinner
For there′s no hiding place
Against the kingdom's throne
You know there′s no hiding place
There's no hiding place

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 diesel′s hummin′
You don't need no ticket
You just thank the Lord
People get ready
