curtis mayfield. genius.

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 hummin' 

don't need no ticket, you just thank the Lord

people get ready for the train to Jordan 

it's picking up passengers from coast to coast 

faith is the key, open the doors and board 'em 

there's hope for all among those 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

so people get ready, there's a train a comin' 

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

all you need is faith to hear the diesels hummin' 

don't need no ticket, you just thank the Lord

you just thank the Lord
