Curtis Mayfield
People Get Ready
[Chorus]
People get ready
There's a train a-coming
You don't need no ticket
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

[Verse 1]
People get ready
For the train to Jordan
Picking up passengers
From coast to coast
Faith is the key
Open the doors and board 'em
There's room for all
Amongst the loved the most, yeah

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
Oh yeah

[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
There ain't no room
For the hopeless sinner (Hopeless sinner)
Who would hurt all mankind just
To save his own (Save his own)
Have pity on those (Oh yeah)
Whose chances are thinner
'Cause there's no hiding place
Against the Kingdom's Throne

[Chorus]
So people get ready
For the train a-coming
You don't need no ticket
You just get on board
All you need is faith
To hear the diesels humming
Don't need no ticket, yeah
You just thank the Lord

[Outro]
Oh yeah

I'm getting ready
I'm getting ready
This time I'm ready
This time I'm ready
(Get ready) I'm getting ready
(Get ready) Getting ready, oh yeah
(Get ready) Yeah, I'm getting ready
(Get ready) Yes, I am
(Ooh, ooh) Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Yeah
