Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Zion train is coming our way
The Zion train is coming our way
[Verse 2]
Oh, people, get on board (You better get on board)
Thank the Lord (Praise Fari)
I gotta catch a train, 'cause there's no other station
Then you're going in the same direction
[Verse 3]
Zion train is coming our way
The Zion train is coming our way
[Verse 4]
Which man can save his brother's soul? (Save your brother's soul)
Oh, man, it's just self control
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, hey
[Verse 5]
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)
[Verse 6]
Soul train is coming our way, ay
Zion train is coming our way
[Verse 7]
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)
[Verse 8]
Oh, children
Zion train is coming our way, get on board now
They said the Zion train is coming our way
You gotta 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
Zion train
