People Get Ready
(curtis mayfield, 1964)
[with jeff beck, flash, 1985]
People get ready
Theres a train a-coming
You dont need no baggage
You just get on board
All you need is faith
To hear the diesels humming
Dont need no ticket
You just thank the lord
People get ready
For the train to jordan
Picking up passengers
From coast to coast
Faith is the key
Open the doors and board them
Theres room for all
Among the loved the most
There aint no room
For the hopeless sinner
Who would hurt all mankind just
To save his own
Have pity on those
Whose chances are thinner
Cause theres no hiding place
From the kingdoms throne
So people get ready
For the train a-comin
You dont need no baggage
You just get on board !
All you need is faith
To hear the diesels humming
Dont need no ticket
You just thank, you just thank the lord
Yeah
Ooh
Yeah
Ooh
Im getting ready
Im getting ready
This time Im ready
This time Im ready

People get ready, theres a train a coming
You dont need no baggage, you just get on board
All you need is faith to hear those diesels humming
You dont need no ticket, you just thank the lord
People get ready, for the train to jordan
Picking up passengers from coast-to-coast
Faith is key, open up the doors and board them
Theres hope for all among the loved the most
But there aint no room for the hopeless sinner
Who would hurt all mankind to save his own
Mave pity on those whose choices grow thinner
Theres no hiding place from the kingdoms throne
People get ready, theres a train a coming
You dont need no baggage, you just get on board
All you need is faith to hear those diesels humming
You dont need no ticket, you just thank the lord
Thank the lord

Are You Ready?
Are you ready, are you ready?
Are you ready, are you ready?
Are you ready to meet jesus?
Are you where you ought to be?
Will he know you when he sees you
Or will he say, depart from me?
Are you ready, hope youre ready.
Am I ready, am I ready?
Am I ready, am I ready?
Am I ready to lay down my life for the brethren
And to take up my cross?
Have I surrendered to the will of god
Or am I still acting like the boss?
Am I ready, hope Im ready.
When destruction cometh swiftly
And theres no time to say a fare-thee-well,
Have you decided whether you want to be
In heaven or in hell?
Are you ready, are you ready?
Have you got some unfinished business?
Is there something holding you back?
Are you thinking for yourself
Or are you following the pack?
Are you ready, hope youre ready.
Are you ready?
Are you ready for the judgment?
Are you ready for that terrible swift sword?
Are you ready for armageddon?
Are you ready for the day of the lord?
Are you ready, I hope youre ready.

One Way Ticket To Heaven
I've got a one way ticket to heaven
On the glory train
I'm taking a trip to the promise Land
I'm never coming back again I made my resurrection
Long long ago
So when the conductor says all aboard
I would be ready to go I sent in for my tickets
Away ahead of time
So when the train pulled out from the station
I wouldn't be left behind I won't take any luggage
But that will be all right
When I get to Heaven
I'll wear my robe of white I hear that train coming
I hear her whistle blow
I've got a one way ticket to heaven
and I am ready to go

Ready Now
(stewart, stocker)
I gave trust like an innocent kid
I believed everything you said
A parasite that fed on doubt
Yeah its you that Im talking about
You rode heavy on my fame
Then you scandalized my name
You robbed me blind with a ( )
You lacerated your closest friend
I dont know how you sleep at
Night with your conscience
Do they still kiss your feet
And is life as sweet in my absence
Im ready now, ready now for what I gotta give
Im ready now, ready now for how I want to live
I dont want no sweet revenge
Itll come and get you in the end
Laugh now while the truths unknown
Cause pretty soon itll be my turn
One of these days and it wont be long
I will find you
Lock up your gates
Youll need all of your snakes
To defend you
Im ready now, ready now for what I gotta give
Im ready now, ready now for how I want to live
Im bitter now, but wait and see
You aint heard the last of me
Ill dance on your grave
When they finally put you away
Whatd I do to deserve all this evil attention
A thousand years will never buy you redemption
Are you ready now, ready now for what you gotta give
Are you ready now, ready now for how you gotta give
Are you ready

Ready For The Rain
Early in the morning, before the daylight
I hear the sound of thunder, comin through in the night
I lie awake and I wonder , where my life is goin
Am I on a road leadin nowhere, theres no way of knowin
cause Ive seen the lightning
And Im ready for the rain to fall
Now Im standin on a mountain, lookin into the sky
I see the clouds come rollin in, water fills my eyes
I dont know whats in the future, no one can say
Dont wanna think about the past, Ive gotta live for today
cause Ive seen the lightnin now
I need to find my own way, while Ive still got time
And Im ready for the rain to fall
cause Ive heard the thunder
And Im ready for the rain to fall
Im ready, ready for the rain
Ive got to rise above it all
And get ready for the rain to fall
Did you ever know someone, who had lost their way
Built their own little kingdom, and just blew it all away
Im not ashamed to admit it, that someone was me
Im gonna look to the future now, cause Ive set myself free
And Ive seen the lightnin
Im gonna set myself free, while Ive still got time
Get ready for the rain to fall
cause Ive heard the thunder
And Im ready for the rain to fall
Im ready, ready for the rain
Ive got to rise above it all
And get ready for the rain to fall, while Ive still got time....

And were praising so were raising out of this oblivion
And on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on
You cant stop this with your mind tricks
Like neo in the matrix Im chosen
Uplift with the gift
Like gandolf the wizard
I conjure a blizzard of magic to ride it high

Thats The Way It Is
I can read your mind and I know your story
I see what youre going through
Its an uphill climb, and Im feeling sorry
But I know it will come to you
Dont surrender cause you can win
In this thing called love
When you want it the most theres no easy way out
When youre ready to go and your hearts left in doubt
Dont give up on your faith
Love comes to those who believe it
And thats the way it is
When you question me for a simple answer
I dont know what to say, no
But its plain to see, if you stick together
Youre gonna find a way, yeah
So dont surrender cause you can win
In this thing called love
When you want it the most theres no easy way out
When youre ready to go and your hearts left in doubt
Dont give up on your faith
Love comes to those who believe it
And thats the way it is
When life is empty with no tomorrow
And loneliness starts to call
Baby, dont worry, forget your sorrow
cause loves gonna conquer it all, all
When you want it the most theres no easy way out
When youre ready to go and your hearts left in doubt
Dont give up on your faith
Love comes to those who believe it
And thats the way it is
When you want it the most theres no easy way out
When youre ready to go and your hearts left in doubt
Dont give up on your faith
Love comes to those who believe it
And thats the way it is
Thats the way it is
Thats the way it is, babe
Dont give up on your faith
Love comes to those who believe it
And thats the way it is.

Time has come for us to get out
We gotta go
If were going down, well
Lets go down in flames
Gotta go now

Dont wanna live you life in a rut, so get in
Coming on strong like a force of nature
Why cant you let it go away....
Im ready to launch
Ive got my fingers on the trigger
You cant keep me down
Cause Im only getting bigger
Im ready to go now
Im ready to leave now

Ready For The Good Times
I dont wanna clear the cobwebs from my head
Time will bring them back I bet
So if you hear me say that I believe in love
Dont make me feel ashamed
I used to sing the saddest songs
And while in the meantime roaches used to climb my door
Falling back down to the floor
I used to read survival guides
When my world was full of seven legged cats
But here iam with eight more lives
Im ready for the good times
Im ready for the good tims
Now that Im not olone
Oh oh oh oh (3x)
You know it
Oh oh oh (2x)
You better now ignore it.
I dont want to look at fashion magazines
While someone is doing my naiels
Sitting here watching other people live
Frozen by the fear to fail
Cause everyday theres a war to fight
And if I win or lose never mind
As long as youre my shelter every night
I used to cry against a wall
But now Ive got a shoulder that I can lean on
Swear to me you wont be gone
Im ready for the good times
Im ready for the good times
Ready to get it on
Im ready for the good times
Im ready for the good times
Now that Im not alone

When the joint starts jumpin, I ll have a ball.

Hand in hand we take a caravan to the marble land
One by one we gonna stand up with pride
One that cant be denied
Stand up

From the highest mountain of valley old
We all shall together with heart of gold
Now the children of the world can see
This a better place for us to be
The place is which we were born
So neglected and torn apart
