A letra:
Zion
train is coming our way
The Zion train is coming our way
Oh,
people, get on board! (You better get on board!)
Thank the Lord
(Praise Fari)
I gotta catch a train, 'cause there is no other
station
Then you going in the same direction (Ooh-ooh)
Zion train is coming our way
The
Zion train is coming our way
Which man can save his brother's soul?
(Save your brother's soul)
Oh man, it's just self control
(Oo-hoo-oo!)
Don't gain the world and lose your soul (Just don't
lose your soul)
Wisdom is better than silver and gold
To the
bridge (Ooh-ooh!)
Oh, where there's a will
There's
always a way
Where there's a will
There's always a way (Way,
way, way, way)
Soul train is coming our way, er!
Zion
train is coming our way
Two thousand years of history
(History)
Could not be wiped away so easily
Two thousand years
of history (Black history)
Could not be wiped so easily (Could not
be wiped so easily)
Oh, children, Zion train is comin' our
way, get on board now!
They said the Zion train is comin' our
way
You got a ticket, so thank the Lord!
Zion train is
Zion train is
Zion
train is
Zion train
They said the soul train is coming our
way
They said the soul train is coming our way
