People Get Ready

Curtis Mayfield

Oh, people get ready
There's a train comin'
You don't need no baggage
You just get on board

All you need is faith
To hear the diesels humming
You don't need no ticket
You just thank the Lord

I believe, I believe
I believe, I do believe

Oh, people get ready
There's train to Jordan
Pickin' up passengers
From coast to coast

Faith is the key
Open the doors and board 'em
There's hope for all
Among those love the most

Now there ain't no room
For the hopeless sinner
Who would hit on mankind
Just to save his own

Have pity on those
Whose chances grow thinner
'Cause there's no hiding place
Against the Kingdom's Throne

I believe, I believe
I believe, I do believe

People get ready
Oh, there's a train coming
You don't need no baggage
You just get on board

All you need is faith
To hear the diesels humming
You don't need no ticket
You just thank the Lord

I believe, I believe
I believe, I believe
I believe, I believe
I believe, I do believe

People get ready
Oh, there's a train coming
You don't need no baggage
You just get on board
