Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Steady rocking on the midnight train
Steady rocking on the midnight train
Oh Lord, steady rocking on the midnight train
To Zion, to Zion
[Verse 2]
Hii maisha ni safari
Tunapita kama moshi
Na kabla tuzame mchangani
Kuna kushinda na kufeli oh
Inabidi ujijue tofauti ya mwalimu na mwanafunzi
Ni ujuzi na ujuaji
[Verse 3]
Oh it's unbelievable
That we make it this far
Undeniable
We see the promised land from afar
And it's so beautiful
No, they can't touch the fire
And you know it's not in vain
We steady tripping through the pain, oh we're
[Verse 4]
Steady rocking on the midnight train
Steady rocking on the midnight train
Oh Lord, steady rocking on the midnight train
To Zion, to Zion
[Verse 5]
Siku zazidi badilika
Mengi Yazidi kunipita jamani, oh Lord
Maji yalipozidi unga
Hawakudhani tutafika fika
[Verse 6]
It's unbelievable
That we made it this far
Undeniable
To see the promise land from afar
So beautiful
They gonna know who we are
Keep on walking in the rain
Kuna blessings in the pain, whoa whoa whoa whoa
[Verse 7]
Steady rocking on the midnight train
Steady rocking on the midnight train
Oh Lord, steady rocking on the midnight train
To Zion, to Zion
[Verse 8]
It's a narrow road to Zion
Nothing will ever deny us
Whatever it takes, keep on walking
Whatever it takes, keep on moving
[Verse 9]
To Zion
To Zion
To Zion
[Verse 10]
Steady rocking on the midnight train
Steady rocking on the midnight train
Oh Lord, steady rocking on the midnight train
To Zion, to Zion
[Verse 11]
Steady rocking on the midnight train
Steady rocking on the midnight train
Oh Lord, steady rocking on the midnight train
To Zion, to Zion
