Lyrics
PEOPLE GET READY Curtis Mayfield
People get ready there's a train coming
Don't need no ticket you just get on board
All you need is faith to hear His diesel hummin'
Don't need no ticket you just thank the Lord
People get ready there's a train coming
Picking up passengers from coast to coast
Faith is the key open the doors and board'em
There's room for all if you'll just love the Lord
There ain't no room for the hopeless sinner
Who would hurt all mankind just to save his own
Have pity on those whose chances grow thinner
There's no hiding place around the kingdom's throne
People get ready there's a train coming
Don't need no ticket you just get on board
Faith is the key open the doors and board'em
Don't' need no ticket you just thank the Lord
