Lyrics People Get Ready (Live) - 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
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 'em
There's hope for all
Among those who loved the most
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
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
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
You don't need no ticket
You just thank the Lord
I say you just thank the Lord
You just thank the Lord
That′s why I'm gonna say
That I believe, I believe
We're gonna make it
We′re gonna make it
As a human race, people [incomprehensible]
I believe, I believe, I believe
You don′t need no ticket
You just thank the Lord
People get ready
People get ready now
