People Get Ready
Text and Music: Curtis Mayfield

 

People get ready, there's a train a-coming…

You don't need no baggage, you just get on board!

All you need is faith to hear the diesels humming.

Don't need no ticket, you just thank the Lord!

 

People get ready for the 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 the most.

Yeah!

 

There ain't no room for the hopeless sinner

Who would hurt all man kind just to save his own.

Have pity on those whose chances are thinner…

Cause there's no hiding place from the kingdom's throne!

So, people get ready for the train a-coming…

You don't need no baggage, you just get on board !

All you need is faith to hear the diesels humming.

Don't need no ticket, you just…

You just thank the Lord!

 

Yeah!

Oooooh!

 

Yeah!

Ooooh!

 

I'm getting ready…

I'm getting ready…

This time I'm ready!

This time I'm ready!
